Clemson basketball needs positive momentum and a win, but Georgia Tech stands squarely in the way.
Going into last weekend, the Tigers (17-8, 7-7 ACC) had a three-game winning streak and were tied for fifth place with three other teams in the ACC standings. Clemson was looking to separate itself from the pack, but NC State guard DJ Horne's go-ahead floater with less than 10 seconds put a hold on those plans in the 78-77 Wolfpack win.
The Tigers held a 12-point lead in the second half and saw it slip away, and head coach Brad Brownell blamed his defense for the lapse.
