Ace Buckner’s career-high 19 points powered Clemson past their in-state rivals, South Carolina, in a 68-61 win that had Littlejohn Coliseum buzzing. The Tigers have now taken two of the last three rivalry games, with Carter Welling also stepping up for 16 points. South Carolina struggled badly from three-point range, hitting just 4 of 26 attempts, while Clemson’s free throw woes kept things closer than they should’ve been. Injuries to Zac Foster and Butta Johnson added some concern, but the Tigers’ second-half surge made the difference. What do you think this win means for Clemson’s momentum heading into the Winter Invitational? #Sports #ClemsonTigers #RivalryWin
