GREENSBORO, N.C. — In a nail-biter to the very end, Clemson survived and advanced in the ACC Tournament on Thursday with an 80-79 overtime win over Virginia Tech.
Senior Aliyah Collier played with veteran poise down the stretch, pouring in a career-high 28 points on the night.
“Virginia Tech is one of the best February teams in the conference and we have a tremendous amount of respect for them,” said head coach Amanda Butler. “I’m really proud of my ugly duckling Clemson Tigers for their performance. There was incredible senior leadership and balance with a variety of players contributing in key moments.
