OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.18 Florida State

Tip is at 7:00 on Fox Sports South! Brownell told me yesterday that Hunter Tyson will miss his third straight game due to the facial laceration he suffered in the first half of the Alabama game. He had 9 points in just 6 minutes before coming out of that game. 

Look out for Scotty Barnes, a big-time freshman guard. He's 6'9 out on the perimeter and has a ton of talent. He could have a big game at any time. Look out for M.J. Walker as well. I'll have live updates from Littlejohn right here!

Tigers trail 31-25 with less than 2 mins left in the first half. They led 11-10 but have trailed for the most part since. Last tie was 21-21. Simms and Dawes need to get going!

Tigers get a stop to end the half! They trail by 5 though, just the 2nd time this season they've trailed at the half. Tigers' 3 top scorers (Simms, Dawes and Honor) have combined for just 4 points! Trapp leads the team with 7.



TIGERS TRAIL 34-29 AT THE HALF.

Reply
CUTrevor 2020-12-29 20:18:25



Walker scores a garbage layup with 11 seconds to cut the lead to 10.


TIGERS WIN 77-67!!!


They should be ranked already at 7-1 with double-digit wins over Purdue, Maryland, Alabama, Mississippi State and now No.18 FSU! They beat the defending Big Ten Champs by 16 and the defending ACC Champs by 10. Only loss was a last-minute 2-point game at VA Tech, which is now No.24. If the Tigers win at Miami on Saturday, they will certainly be ranked next week. 

Orlando native Nick Honor was incredible in the 2nd half for the 2nd straight game. I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit!
