Tiger Pause - Clemson answers questions with 91-72 rout of Miami

If you are a Clemson fan, you have done this dance before; start strong, rack up 10,11 wins on cupcakes, then get to the ACC season and have the wheels fall off.

In fact, basketball aficionados are so familiar with the Clemson Cupcake Shuffle, that they are just barely sniffing the Top 25 despite being 11-0.

That should change Monday. The Tigers routed Miami, who going into the season was though to be a 2-4 ACC team. Despite a few early season losses, the Canes have hung around the polls enough to constitute the first true test for the Tigers.

The Tigers were led by outstanding guard KC Rivers' 28 points.
