With top scorer Chase Hunter available but battling the flu, Chauncey Wiggins stepped up with 16 points as Clemson earned a 72-57 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday in Blacksburg, Va. Del Jones also rose to the occasion, scoring nine of his career-high 13 points in the final nine minutes as Clemson (17-4, 9-1 ACC) won its fifth straight to keep pace with first-place Duke, which has yet to lose a conference game. Viktor Lakhin and Jaeden Zackery each added 11 points and five rebounds for Clemson, which went much of the way without Hunter, who scored two points in his 10 minutes on the floor.
