GREENVILLE — Offensively it just wasn’t Avery Holmes afternoon. The junior connected on just 2-of-10 shots from the field and was 4-of-8 from the foul line.
So early on Holmes decided he was going to contribute to Clemson’s 66-52 victory over Georgia Tech another way on Saturday – by playing defense.
Holmes was a nightmare to Georgia Tech’s ball handlers, as he racked up six steals at the Bon Secours Wellness Center in Greenville. Those six steals led to 17 points off turnovers for the Tigers, while they influenced the Yellow Jackets to two points in the game’s final 4:56.
