Needing a win to possibly earn an NCAA Tournament bid, Clemson’s seniors carried the Tigers to a 67-55 victory over Syracuse on Senior Day at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson.
After struggling in the first half offensively, the Tigers rallied from a seven-point half-time deficit behind the play of Marcquise Reed, who scored 20 second-half points as Clemson outscored the Orange, 43-24 in the second half.
Reed finished the afternoon with a game-high 24 points. He was 5-for-9 from the field in the second half, including 2-for-4 from behind the arc. It was a good bounce back for the senior, who scored just four points in the first half and was 2-for-8 from the field.
