An offensive explosion in the first four minutes of the second half carried the Clemson Tigers to a 78-51 win over the Charleston Southern Buccaneers Tuesday night.
With leading scorer Marcquise Reed sidelined due to injury, the Tigers struggled to consistently hit shots in the first half, especially from deep. Then, a Shelton Mitchell three, his only one of the game, for the first bucket of the second half ignited the Tigers offense.
Mitchell’s three, which was immediately followed by an Aamir Simms three, sparked an 18-0 run that forced the Buccaneers to call two timeouts before the under-16 in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
