Clemson Hangs On, Defeats Nebraska 60-58

If there was a stat category for heart, Sidy Djitte would be a First Team All-American, easy. Djitte was instrumental on Wednesday night as the Clemson Tigers (4-2) managed to hang on in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-3) by a score of 60-58. Djitte may have only put 6 points on the board for the night, but grabbed 9 rebounds (5 offensive) in which Clemson scored on 4 of those possessions. To put into perspective the importance of Djitte, Djitte missed 5 minutes of game time due to foul trouble, and in that time, Clemson was outscored 19-7, including the crucial final 2 minutes.
