The odd Duke-Wake Forest game drew most of the attention Tuesday night but there were two other ACC games as NC State clobbered Georgia Tech and Florida State survived Clemson 81-80.
Both teams have struggled. FSU lost six straight going into this one while Clemson has now lost five straight and is 2-10 since January.
Even so, the Tigers keep playing hard. They nearly beat UNC, gave Duke trouble before falling behind and were a whisker from beating the ‘Noles.
FSU was consistently ahead in the second half but the Tigers kept it close. RayQuan Evans hit the go-ahead free throw with :14 left.
