GREENSBORO, N.C. — Clemson guard John Newman III had a big performance in front of his hometown crowd in the ACC Tournament on Wednesday.
The Greensboro native scored 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting while registering three rebounds and two assists in Clemson’s 69-64 victory over Miami at the Greensboro Coliseum.
“It felt great to be home,” the sophomore said. “Everything I did out there felt more special to me today because I had people from my home watching it — family, friends, people that I grew up with, people that support me. I got to play in front of some of them for the first time in my college career, and it was a great feeling.
