OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON vs. Colgate

CUTrevor 2019-11-10 14:41:30


Late night last night and long drive back from Raleigh, but I'm here toughing it out at Littlejohn! The media here are few and far between, to say the least.

Colgate cut the lead to 2 with about 3 mins left in the half, but the Tigers went on an 8-2 run to close the half and lead by 8. Mack has 9 points, Tyson 7 and 3 Tigers with 6. Simms has just 2 points after going scoreless on Thursday. The Tigers are just 4-11 from 3-point land after going 14-31 on Thursday.

Good grief Colgate hits its third 3 of the half followed by a layup to cut the lead to one! Timeout Brownell. Colgate is 4-5 in the half, 3-4 from 3.

Simms with another offensive board, and Mack scores to put the Tigers back up by one!

Simms with another offensive board! He draws the foul but misses the front end of a one-and-one. They're in the bonus with over 9 mins left, so if they can make free throws the rest of the way, they are in good shape.

3-point play by Colgate ties the game. Just cannot pull away from these guys! Of course eight 3-pointers in the half will do that.

SIMMS FAST BREAK LAYUP AND ONE!!! Great passing in transition. Simms is unable to finish the 3-point play, though. He's missed his last 2 at the line. Tigers lead by 4.

TIGERS WIN 81-68!!!

Good to see them grit out a close game over a scrappy Colgate team that made seven 3's in the second half. That is probably an NCAA Tournament team and a good win on the resume. Tigers improve to 2-1 and get a week off to regroup now after 3 games in 6 days. I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly!
