Lucas: Clemson Rapid Reactions
By Adam Lucas
1. It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. Nice design by Carolina on the final possession to draw the defense to Caleb Love, who then found an open Brady Manek for a game-winning layup.
2. The game changed when Armando Bacot was whistled for his fourth foul with 11:42 left. At that point, Carolina was up by five points. Without Bacot, who was clearly Carolina's dominant offensive player, Clemson climbed back into the game and had the lead within a couple of minutes. Bacot came back in with 6:30 left in the game; at that point, Clemson had a one-point lead. He fouled out with 1:04 remaining on an offensive foul and finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds.
