Turnovers and an inability to make shots late cost No. 13 Clemson the chance to go 10-0.
Clemson went toe-to-toe with Memphis on the road Saturday, but it was Memphis that made enough big shots late to hold on for the 79-77 win at the FexEx Forum.
Memphis had 17 points off of 15 Clemson turnovers, while Memphis turned it over just six times. Clemson held the edge in rebounds (37-35), but Memphis' bench outscored Clemson’s bench 25-5.
Clemson falls to 9-1 while Memphis improves to 8-2. Saturday marked the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
