CUTrevor 2025-01-11 15:01:21 That’s the ball game! TIGERS WIN 77-57!!! They improve to 13-4 and 5-1 in ACC play. Chase scored 25, going 5-9 (almost 6-10) from the arc. Jamir Hawkins, the ACC's third-leading scorer, made two quick 3's to start the game, but he yelled "F-you" at the student section following his first make on the opening possession, and the crowd loudly booed him every time he touched the ball for the rest of the game. He subsequently went 33 scoreless minutes after those early two 3's! Ian is apparently spasms, and he scored just 2 points. Also, Viktor played just 6 minutes in the first half with 2 early fouls, and he picked up his 3rd one minute into the second half. Impressive that the Tigers were able to beat the Noles by 20 with Ian banged up and Viktor in foul trouble the whole game. I'll have post-game interviews and highlights posted shortly! Reply
