CLEMSON – Lacking a true inside presence this season, Clemson needs to shoot well from distance to win games. Sunday’s cold-shooting effort didn’t get it done.
Yale pulled away late and took advantage of Clemson’s woes from 3-point range to win its tenth game in defeating Clemson 54-45 Sunday afternoon in front of a sparse crowd at Littlejohn Coliseum. Yale improves to 10-3 on the season while Clemson falls to 6-6.
Clemson trailed Yale 42-40 with just over five minutes to play but hit just two free throws and was 0-for-6 from the field over the next four minutes in another crippling cold spell that cost them a game.
