That was a strange one, but hey, whatever works. Cat Barber struggled all afternoon from the field, missing a number of shots he normally makes look easy. Clemson went on an incredible hot-shooting streak in the first half, and committed exactly one turnover the entire game. But the Wolfpack's supporting cast was tremendous, and State pulled out a 77-74 win.
While Barber hit only one of 12 field goal attempts, State got big games from Abdul-Malik Abu, Maverick Rowan, and the Martin twins. BeeJay Anya scored eight points on 4-5 shooting, and most of those buckets were dunks.
