At least once a week, Clemson head coach Brad Brownell will have his team practice the final seconds of a ballgame. All that practice paid off Friday night.
Following two missed free throws by Georgia Tech’s Jose Alvarado with eight seconds to play, the Tigers’ Nick Honor calmly moved the basketball up the floor, got a good ball screen from his buddy Aamir Simms, went left and then launched a shot that banked off the glass and into the net with 1.1 seconds to play.
“We do it every week. We don’t do it every day,” Brownell said.
