CLEMSON - Two off-the-mark, late Tevin Mack 3-pointers locked in Clemson’s fourth losing ACC regular-season campaign in the last eight seasons, as Georgia Tech swept the season series with a 65-62 win on Friday night.
Trailing by double-digits at the half, Aamir Simms led the Tigers (15-15, 9-11 ACC) out of a slump.
Simms, after scoring two first-half points, hit a pair of threes in a personal 10-point run to bring Clemson back within one in the early minutes of the second half.
A pair of Tevin Mack free throws would tie things up minutes later and graduate guard Curran Scott’s layup put the Tigers on top, 46-44, at the 10:43 mark of the second for their first lead since midway through the first period.
