GREENVILLE, S.C. — When Clemson needed him most, Dillon Hunter was there for the Tigers.
Clemson was on the verge of blowing a more than 20-point lead for the second time in two weeks as Cincinnati overcame a 27-point first-half deficit to pull within a point three different times with less than a minute to play.
Twice in the final 10 seconds, Hunter went to the free throw line with the Tigers clinging to a one-point lead, and both times, he knocked down each attempt, securing Clemson’s 68-65 win over the Bearcats on Sunday afternoon in Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
