Seeking revenge after losing a one-point heartbreaker to Clemson on Jan. 2, the Miami Hurricanes remained within striking distance of the Tigers, who entered Saturday’s contest on a four-game win streak.
Miami sophomore guard Isaiah Wong scored a game-high 28 points, though his individual performance was not enough for the Hurricanes’ first victory in three and a half weeks, as Miami (7-15, 3-13 ACC) fell to Clemson (15-5, 9-5 ACC) 66-58 at Littlejohn Coliseum.
“He’s making shots, he’s distributing the ball pretty well, he’s playing very hard on defense, but Clemson was on fire early,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said on Wong’s offensive prominence.
