4 Tigers pick up All-ACC honors
Chase Hunter and Ian Schieffelin got nods from the All-Conference teams while Jaeden Zackery and Viktor Lakhin were recognized by the league Monday.
Senior guard Hunter received his first postseason honor after being named to the All-ACC First Team. The honor makes it three years straight a Tiger has earned the award (PJ Hall, 2024; Hunter Tyson, 2023).
Hunter leads Clemson in scoring with 16.0 points per game, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks. He is one of just two players in the country to average 16 points and shoot at least .470/.410/.870 from the field, three and free throw line.
The Atlanta, Georgia-native is just two points behind sixth all-time at Clemson in scoring with 1,724 points. He is sixth all-time in assists (430).
Schieffelin went from last year's league Most Improved Player to earning a spot on the All-ACC Second Team in his senior season. He is averaging a career-best 12.9 points per game to go with 9.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
Schieffelin's 11 double-doubles this season has put him on pace for another 300 rebound season. He is currently seventh in school history with 852 rebounds in a career.
Boston College transfer Zackery was named to the ACC All-Defensive Team and comes in third in the league in steals (61) with an average 1.97 per game. His 61 steals so far is 10th all-time in school history for a single season.
Lahkin picked up an All-ACC Honorable Mention after posting a career-high 11.6 points per game and a 38.3% three-point percentage. He also posted career numbers on defense with 49 blocks and 32 steals.
Clemson opens the ACC Tournament Thursday, March 13 at 9:30 p.m. The Tigers will play the winner of SMU and Syracuse/Florida State.

They sure weren't satisfied with the status quo, though, as evidenced by their recent acquisition of DiJonai Carrington. The Most Improved Player award winner and All-Defensive First Team selection in 2024 has bolstered the league leader's depth, injected a dose of two-way energy into an already determined club and made a seamless transition after the midseason switch. 'She's been a great addition,' starting forward Bridget Carleton said. 'Playing against her has always been a challenge. She's just feisty, competitive, always wants to win, plays hard every single possession.' Even with superstar Napheesa Collier sidelined by a sprained right ankle, the Lynx haven't missed a beat. They're in first place by six games at 27-5, surging toward the No. 1 overall seed for the playoffs. 'You just want to feel like you're a better team when she comes back into the team, that you've figured some things out, that people are playing with confidence,' associate head coach Eric Thibault said. 'Our group's attitude is right about it. Nobody feels sorry for ourselves or anything like that. We just go out and battle.' Carrington was acquired from the Dallas Wings on Aug. 3 for backup forward Diamond Miller, injured guard Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota's 2027 second-round draft pick.e Miller was the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, so Carrington came at a price. But president of basketball operations and head coach Cheryl Reeve, who's chasing a fifth title with Minnesota, has this team fully in win-now mode with Collier in her prime and an experienced lineup around her led by five-time All-Star shooting guard Kayla McBride, two-time All-Star point guard Courtney Williams and shot-blocking specialist Alanna Smith patrolling the post. 'I'm a winner, and this is a winning organization,' Carrington said. The 5-foot-11 native of San Diego, who played her first four WNBA seasons with the Connecticut Sun, was dealt to Dallas earlier this year. She averaged a career-best 5.1 rebounds in 20 games with the Wings. In three games since the trade, and coincidentally since Collier was injured, Carrington has 40 points, 12 rebounds and six steals. The Lynx take a five-game winning streak into their game on Saturday against the defending champion New York Liberty, whom they've already beaten twice this month in a measure of revenge for their overtime loss in New York last year in the decisive game of the WNBA Finals. In the previous round, when the Lynx beat the Sun in a five-game series, Reeve became enamored by Carrington, who had 17 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and one block in defeat in the decisive game of those semifinals. The chance this summer to acquire a defensive ace on the perimeter who could alleviate some of the burden on McBride as well as provide more scoring off the bench was one the Lynx couldn't miss. 'We felt like we could use a little bit more help as we made this run,' Reeve said. 'If you stay exactly the same, it's really hard to accomplish and get back and get over the hump, so we wanted to keep the group together — but we also thought we needed a little bit more.' Williams and Natisha Hiedeman played with Carrington with the Sun, so there was pre-existing chemistry. Smith was a teammate of Carrington's at Stanford, as well, so they were already close. 'It was like a friend coming home,' Smith said. 'That's kind of how it felt. I was excited. I think she's a piece that's really good for us and only going to help us get to the point we want to get to, which is a championship.'

Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney gives encouraging update on kicker
After what he called an "average week" for kicker Nolan Hauser last Saturday, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney had a message following the Tigers' second scrimmage of fall camp. "He had a great day," Swinney told reporters on Thursday. "Y'all make sure you print that." Swinney had said on Aug. 9 after the Tigers' first live game of fall camp that Hauser had had an average week, including one kick that was "just terrible." He offered a more promising report on his sophomore kicker after Thursday's scrimmage. "He actually had a really good day," Swinney said. "He's had a few good days. But Nolan, stuff just goes off his back. He's just kind of wired the right way, but I thought he was average last week."

Kelsey Plum says she was joking about Caitlin Clark's team at All-Star Game
Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum said she was joking when she took a verbal shot at Caitlin Clark and her team at the All-Star Game last month, comments that drew significant pushback. 'I made a really bad joke,' Plum said on Sue Bird's 'Bird's Eye View' podcast that dropped Friday. Plum said she was trying to have fun with Team Clark at the All-Star Game in Indianapolis on July 19 when she said Clark's side didn't show up for that morning meeting to discuss collective bargaining agreement talks. The union and the WNBA are in the midst of negotiations, and all the players in the All-Star Game wore T-shirts that read, 'Pay Us What You Owe Us,' including Clark. Plum said at the post-game news conference the players decided that morning to wear the shirts, but "zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.' There was especially a big blowback on social media toward Plum, who said her intention was to bring levity to a serious topic but misread the room. 'I was making a joke they were hungover even though our team nickname was 'Hungover,'" Plum said. "I was like, 'At least we made it.' Obviously, we were all on the same page. We all wore the shirts. We're all unified. I think if anything I was more discouraged because I felt like (the comments) took away from the moment of what we were trying to do.'
