Saturday night’s loss to NC State has significant implications for the Clemson men’s basketball team and the ACC tournament upcoming in March.
With the Tigers' defeat, they move to 7-7 in ACC Play, while the Wolfpack go to 8-6. Clemson drops to seventh in the ACC with six games left on their schedule.
Earlier that day, two significant losses implicated good fortunes for the Tigers. Duke beat Florida State 76-67 at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Jared McCain’s 25 first-half points helped Duke jump to a 10-point lead in the first half, and the Blue Devils didn’t look back.
