GREENVILLE, S.C. — Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points and No. 4 Virginia rallied after blowing a double-digit lead to defeat Clemson 64-57 on Tuesday night.
The Cavaliers (23-6, 12-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) got off to a 12-0 start and looked like they might blow the Tigers out of the building. Instead, Clemson (16-13, 9-8) scratched away and led 47-46 on Gabe DeVoe’s 3-pointer with 6:29 remaining.
That’s when Virginia scored seven straight points to gain control toward its third straight 12-win ACC season — a feat last accomplished from 1981-83 when Ralph Sampson patrolled the paint for the Cavaliers.
