Clemson is off to a really good start but as we’ve seen over the years, and as Barry pointed out the other day, it’s not the start that matters but the finish.
Still, the start is pretty good this season and it got better Tuesday as the Tigers beat NC State 74-70 in overtime to move to 9-1 and 3-1 in the ACC.
Although the Pack had its way in the first half, Clemson shut them down later, outscoring State 21-11 in the last nine minutes.
There was some question about whether the injured Manny Bates would play.
