Chase Hunter, back in the starting lineup after limited playing time recently because of illness, scored 20 points and Clemson withstood several threats from North Carolina State for a 68-58 road victory Saturday afternoon in Raleigh, N.C. Viktor Lakhin had 13 points and Chauncey Wiggins ended up with 11 points for the Tigers (18-4, 10-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who are a half-game out of first place pending the outcome of Saturday night's North Carolina-Duke game. Clemson poured it on with a strong finishing stretch to secure its sixth consecutive victory. The Tigers, who shot 48.1 percent from the field, overcame a scoring drought of more than seven minutes during the first part of the second half.
