CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson is on the cusp of the Top 25 and building a strong resume for March thanks to an offense that can win at any speed.
Held to its second lowest point total of the season, the Tigers (10-1) used a career-high 25 points from Marcquise Reed to beat South Carolina 64-48 on Tuesday night.
"Really, really good teams win in the 80s and win in the 50s," said Clemson coach Brad Brownell, whose team now has wins over South Carolina, Florida and Ohio State this season.
Clemson never trailed in the game, but couldn't put the Gamecocks (8-3) away either until the second half.
