Tigers find a way


Clemson overcame a 55 foot halftime buzzer beater, 9 point half time deficit, 15 point deficit early in the second half and mediocre free throw shooting to beat Virginia Tech 86-82 Thursday night in Blacksburg.

K.C. Rivers had 29 points, including 7-10 on three pointers, to lead the Tigers, while Trevor Booker chipped in 21 points and 13 rebounds.

As nice as this win looks on paper, the Tigers still have a ton of room for improvement. Start with free throw shooting (14-21, 66.7%). The Tigers missed two of three in the waning seconds, but luckily that didn't come back to haunt them tonight.

Secondly, it appears my concern with Jerai Grant was well founded:12 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 4 fouls.
