Clemson freshmen guards Al-Amir Dawes and Chase Hunter combined for just two turnovers while the Tigers forced 18 and scored 30 points off Colgate turnovers Sunday afternoon.
The Tigers fought through adversity and overcame an experienced Colgate team with a strong run to cap off the 81-68 win.
Head coach Brad Brownell knew the Raiders would prove a formidable foe for the Tigers in Littlejohn and was proud of how his team responded in the pressure situation.
“I thought we played great in the first half and knew this team would come back, it’s a strong-willed veteran team and I knew they would make a run and we would have to do something again” Brownell told the media following the game.
