The Tigers came out of the gate hot, much like the ACC Tournament game, racing out to a 16-2 lead behind good shooting out of Marcquise Reed in particular, but it didn’t even take a half for Wright State to get back in the game. There wasn’t much of a crowd in Littlejohn, but the folks in attendance had to be shocked at the sight of actual major bench production as Wright State’s bench led the comeback. Clemson’s best bench player, Clyde Trapp, was moved into a starting role when Shelton Mitchell’s balky knee once again raised its ugly head to keep him out of the contest.
