Tigers awaken in second half

Clemson slept through another first half on Tuesday, leading Virginia 33-32 at the half. But the giants awoke in the second half and Clemson's front line turned the game into a dunk fest as the Tigers beat Virginia 75-57.

The Tigers had 10 turnovers in the first half, but only 5 in the second. And while seemingly everyone had a hand in the turnovers, you have to wonder what has happened to Tanner Smith. Smith has gone from a solid contributor as a freshman to someone who turns the ball over with alarming frequency. He had two more turnovers in 7 minutes (and 0 points) against Virginia. If this continues Clemson's "deep" bench, suddenly gets a bit shorter.
