Clemson falls to Memphis in overtime classic

Follow us:

CLEMSON – In a game where an early weekend rise was required for attendance, those who set the alarm were in for quite the show.

If two halves weren’t enough to awaken the crowd, an extra five minutes certainly fit the bill.

In the end, it was Memphis turning Clemson’s late-game efforts into a nightmarish overtime, overcoming the home Tigers, 87-82.

Despite a career day from Viktor Lakhin, Tyrese Hunter’s 23 was enough for the visiting Tigers to claim another close victory over Clemson.

Leading 81-80 with a minute to go in overtime, Chase Hunter strode down the court, with his sibling Dillon wide open in the corner.
