Clemson senior forward Aamir Simms scored 25 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead the Tigers, as Miami (4-4, 0-3 ACC) lost their first game of 2021 on Saturday at the Watsco Center 66-65.
Sophomore guard Isaiah Wong led the Hurricanes yet again with 13 points while senior guard Elijah Olaniyi and sophomore guard Harlond Beverly combined for 20. Their shared double-digit scoring was not enough to outlast Clemson (8-1, 2-1 ACC), who upset No. 18 Florida State at home on Tuesday evening.
Having won four of its first five games against Power Five opponents for the first time since 1934, Clemson opened the game shooting a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc.
