CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson's Jaron Blossomgame wasn't sure if he were happier at winning or finally succeeding in an Atlantic Coast Conference that came down the wire.
"It feels very, very good," a smiling Blossomgame said. "We've played well all year, but have just come down on the tough side of things."
Not this time against North Carolina State. Blossomgame scored all 16 of his points in the second half, including a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1:27 left in the Tigers 78-74 victory Wednesday night.
Clemson (15-14, 5-12) had been 1-9 this season in league game's decided by six points or less.
