Chinanu Onuaku had 14 points and 10 rebounds while Trey Lewis had 10 points and eight boards. Clemson had four guys in double figures led by Jaron Blossomgame with 17 points. Avry Holmes had 16, Donte Grantham had 12, and Jordan Roper had 10. Clemson also had 32 out of its 44 free throw attempts and won the game despite being outrebounded 53-31.
