TIGERS BEAT TCU 62-60 IN OVERTIME FOR 5TH STRAIGHT WIN!!!

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 13:57:04

The Tigers will tip off in Vegas at 10:30 ET on ESPN2. They have won 4 straight, but this will be their first game away from Littlejohn. TCU is 4-0, coached by Jamie Dixon, who was at Pitt for several years before leaving for his alma mater. I'll have play-by-play right here!

Tigers wearing orange for the first time this season. Interestingly, Khavon Moore gets his first career start. He hasn't played great so far this season with very limited playing time. I guess Brownell felt like they needed a little more height in the lineup than Scott provides. I'm kind of surprised he wouldn't start Tyson before Moore, though. Tyson has played well the last few games, including a career-high 20 points last week. Simms, Mack, Newman and Dawes are your other starters.

TIGERS TRAIL 25-23 AT THE HALF.

First time all season they have trailed at the break. Mack leads all scorers with 13. Tigers are a respectable 5-12 from beyond the arc. Gotta get Simms involved on the offensive end! He is scoreless, shooting 0-5 including the missed dunk that led to a 4-point swing to end the half.

Newman dunk to start the half and tie the game!

Ugh Frogs hit a 3 and just like that they are up 7.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 22:43:04

SIMMS FOR 3!!! His first points of the game couldn't have come at a better time, after the biggest lead for the Frogs! Simms hasn't been making 3's this season either, so that is a welcome sight. Just his first 3 since he went 1-4 in the opener against the Hokies! Tigers trail by 4.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 22:45:22

Bane makes one of two at the line. Tigers trail by 5.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:12:38

Tigers will have the ball after the under 4 media timeout. Will take a heck of a comeback to pull this out.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:16:03

Tigers' ball with 2 mins left, down 6!

UGH Simms called for a foul with 5 seconds left. Tigers will still have a chance...

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:24:39

BANE MISSES BOTH!!! Lol incredible! Their best player with 17 points tonight chokes! Mack gets the rebound and the Tigers call timeout with 4 seconds left! Bane was 8-9 at the line this season and 3-4 tonight before missing both.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:27:37

Simms drives and his layup at the buzzer is blocked. Into overtime we go....

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:42:07

Good grief Simms misses a pair of free throws and then Dawes does the same! Tigers have been clutch down the stretch but are starting to choke with a one-point lead. They should be up by 4 or 5 right now! Tigers lead by one with 16 seconds left, TCU ball.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:43:11

Frogs miss layup, Mack rebounds and is fouled with 0.8 seconds left! Frogs had a couple great shots from point blank before Mack got the rebound.

CUTrevor 2019-11-24 23:47:25

Mack makes the first, misses the second on purpose and time runs out!!

TIGERS WIN 62-60!!!

Shame on all of you who gave up! Lol one of the best comebacks in the history of Clemson Basketball, down 15 points with 8 minutes left. Layup by Mack tied the game with 25 seconds left to cap a 15-0 run by the Tigers. He also scored the final point and finished with 22 points to lead all scorers. The Tigers overcame 17 turnovers (they had just 9 in their last game) and did not turn the ball over in the final 10 minutes of play. Freshman Al-Amir Dawes, who is as confident as any freshman you'll see, was big in overtime with 5 points, although he also missed a pair of free throws in the last 30 seconds that could have iced it.

Huge resume-building win for the Tigers away from home! That's one of those season-defining wins that a team--especially one as young as this--can really rally around and build on. Remember, the Tigers are playing without starting guard Clyde Trapp and key big man Jonathan Baehre. One of their better shooters, Alex Hemenway, is also out with a high ankle sprain. They have now won 5 straight and are 5-1 on the season. They will have a big opportunity against a ranked Colorado team on Tuesday night. Win that one, and they might jump into the rankings!
