Clemson and Georgia Tech’s ACC clash extended late into the night, with the Tiger defense bruising the Yellow Jackets into an offensive nightmare.
The visiting Tigers extended their win streak to two, kicking off the road slate with a comfortable 70-59 win.
Georgia Tech looked to erase that sense of comfort, forcing a double-digit deficit to nine with 40 seconds to play. Ian Schieffelin intercepted an inbounds pass and knocked down free throws short after to ice the contest.
Damon Stoudamire’s squad entered Tuesday night short-handed, and Brad Brownell’s defense poured salt on the open wound.
