CLEMSON -The Clemson Tigers defeated the Syracuse Orange 71-70 in a thriller Tuesday night in Littlejohn Coliseum.
After trailing by 10 early in the second half, Clemson fought back and trailed by one with 11 seconds left. After Syracuse missed a shot of the in-bounds play, sophomore Khavon Moore pushed the ball up the court and dished it off to junior Clyde Trapp to give the Tigers a 71-70 lead and a victory over the Orange.
But the story of the night is not just about Clemson’s resiliency throughout the game, but also about graduate transfer Tevin Mack, who scored a career-high 32 points in the Tigers’ win.
