It was not easy, but No. 20 Clemson found a way to get a win Wednesday night at Stanford’s Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif.
Nick Davidson and Ace Buckner made four free throws in the final 24 seconds, as the Tigers knocked off the Cardinals 66-64. Davidson came off the bench to lead the Tigers with 16 points, while Buckner tallied 11 points, also off the bench.
Chase Thompson also came off the bench and added 10 points.
Clemson (19-4, 9-1 ACC) won despite going the final 4:01 without a field goal. The Tigers were able to win because the Cardinal went 3:04 without a point and made just 2 of their final nine shots, including Ebuka Okorie’s layup as time expired.
