CLEMSON - A long night in Littlejohn could indicate another anxiety-filled push to March for Brad Brownell’s Clemson Tigers.
After leading by as much as nine late in regulation, Clemson (12-5, 2-4 ACC) fell in double overtime to Georgia Tech (9-8, 2-4), 93-90.
Clemson dropped its fourth game in the last five contests and a fifth in the last nine. The defeat was a first for Clemson versus an opponent in the NCAA’s NET Quadrant 3 or lower (Q3).
PJ Hall reached a career-high with a bucket in the first overtime and extended Clemson’s lead to four points with under four to go in the session, but GT’s 15th 3-pointer of the night gave the Yellow Jackets a one-point advantage with under three minutes left there.
