Saturday was Senior Day at Clemson’s Littlejohn Coliseum. However, the story of the afternoon was all about a sophomore.
Guard Al-Amir Dawes came off the bench and scored a game-high 21 points and five assists in leading Clemson to a 77-62 victory over Pittsburgh. Dawes was 7-of-10 from the field, including 5-of-8 from behind the arc.
With senior and leading scorer Aamir Simms on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble, the Tigers got help from junior Hunter Tyson, who scored xx points.
In all, Clemson (16-6, 10-6 ACC) had all 11 of the 12 players who played score.
