CLEMSON - Stanford dropped the ball on a chance for a road victory, and Chase Hunter led the way to take full advantage.
Clemson cruised past Stanford in the second half, outscoring the Cardinal 42-30 for their third win in ACC play, 85-71.
With 14:08 left to play in the second half, the Tigers were locked in a stalemate with their cross-country foe, looking for separation.
A quick 10-0 run would solve that issue, as defensive intensity rose with it. Led by Jaeden Zackery, who had two of Clemson’s 15 steals on the day, saw a surge in energy that was enough to feel comfortable in the final minutes of Wednesday’s matchup.
