CLEMSON – Miami head coach Jim Larranaga will be happy to see Aamir Simms move on to the NBA.
Simms scored 19 points and played every minute of the game against Miami as Clemson pulled away late in the second half and defeated Miami 66-58 in Littlejohn Coliseum. In two games this season against Miami, Simms is 18-of-26 from the field and has scored 44 points. Al-Amir Dawes scored a season-high 19 points Saturday.
Clemson improves to 15-5 overall and 9-5 in the ACC and remains in the running for a top-four spot that would guarantee the Tigers a double-bye in the ACC Tournament.
