Key Storylines

• Clemson has a strong defensive profile, allowing 64.5 points per game while scoring 76.5, a combo that has produced a ranked resume and an 18-4 overall mark with an 8-1 ACC start entering this week.
• Stanford sits at 14-8 after a tough road swing that included a loss at Florida State, but returns to Maples Pavilion, where it has toppled North Carolina and Louisville this season. Stanford has dropped four straight games and will try to get back on track at home here.
