OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON at NC State

CUTrevor 2022-01-08 11:24:46

The Tigers are coming off their first home loss of the season, 75-65 to UVA, snapping a 4-game win streak including a 17-point win at UVA. State is very beatable this season after losing All-ACC forward Manny Bates to a preseason injury, but this is always a close game, especially in Raleigh. The Tigers will have to stop Seabron, who is one of the most prolific scorers in the league.

Tip is at noon, and I'll have live updates right here. You can click the link below to watch.

TIGERS WIN 70-65!!!

First win in Raleigh since 2015 and second straight road win for the Tigers, who are now 10-5 on the season and 2-2 in the ACC. They were just 3-10 from 3, but it's encouraging to know that they can grind out a win on the road without relying on 3's. They were about 50% from the field.

I'll have post-game interviews and highlights posted shortly!
