Clemson had an 18-3 run over the last 6:46 of the first half and then got 14 points from guard Nick Honor in the second half to pull away from Morehead State in a rare Monday afternoon basketball game at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson.
The Tigers (6-1, 0-1 ACC) beat the Eagles 66-51 in the first Monday noon tip in Clemson history.
The game was moved to Monday from its original Tuesday date to help give the players on both teams an extra day off to go home for the Christmas Holiday.
Besides Honor’s 12 points, the Tigers also got 12 points from Al-Amir Dawes and Aamir Simms.
