Clemson Basketball has the program's biggest game in years when they take the floor tonight. The Tigers are in Los Angeles for the West Regional to take on 2 seed Arizona.

It's the 1st time Clemson has made the round of 16 since 2018 and just the 5th time in the last 45 years. The "Sweet 16" has been a wall for the Clemson program, the last time they advanced past that round was 1980.

To make this is a historical run for the program and duplicate the feat from 1980, Clemson will have to beat a Arizona team who has won 27 games this season. The Wildcats are led by UNC transfer Caleb Love who's averaging 18 points per game and 7 footer Oumar Ballo, who averages a double-double on the season.

Thursday night's game is set to tipoff just after 7 PM, Thursday night and will be nationally televised on CBS.
