There was little doubt on who was going to shoot the basketball as the final seconds of regulation came to an end on Tuesday night at Littlejohn Coliseum.
With the game tied and the shot clock off, Clemson cleared the lane for guard Nick Honor. To that point, the former transfer from Fordham carried the Tigers, especially in the second half.
“Obviously, I put the ball in his hands at the end of the game. I wanted him to take the last shot,” Clemson head coach Brad Brownell said following No. 19 Clemson’s 74-70 overtime victory over NC State at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson.
