Heartbreak in Littlejohn: Late bucket propels Wolfpack to win over Tigers

CLEMSON – Clemson’s last three losses have all been by one point, and the latest really hurts.

DJ Horne of NC State scored on a driving floater with 9.8 seconds remaining to lift the Wolfpack to a 78-77 victory over Clemson Saturday night in Littlejohn Coliseum. Horne scored 27 to lead all scorers.

With Wake Forest losing to Virginia earlier in the day, the Tigers missed out on a great chance to move into a tie for fourth in the ACC standings (the top four seeds earn two byes in the ACC Tournament), but the loss drops Clemson to 17-8 overall and 7-7 in ACC play.
