An old, ugly friend came back to visit the Tigers (8-0) on Tuesday in Champaign - missed free throws. But the Tigers used a stifling press to force 17 turnovers and held Illinois to 2-8 shooting in the final 5 minutes, including not getting a shot off at the buzzer, to edge the Illini 76-74 in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.
The well-rounded Tiger attack showed 4 starters in double figures, despite Terrance Oglesby only taking 5 shots in 26 minutes of action.
While the victory was nice, it certainly showed some areas that could use improvement and especially that Clemson's younger players, including Tanner Smith and Andre Young, have some work to do before being able to contribute in ACC play.
