The Tigers shot 42.6 percent. The victory was Clemson's fifth in its last six games against N.C. State, and its 13th in its last 17 meetings with the Wolfpack. He currently ranks 16th nationally in scoring. Clemson played us hard close to the basket, and to be effective we had to beat them over the top. There's no such thing as a 'must-win' game.
Every game is one-sixteenth of the schedule.
Every night we go out and play our hearts out. It's not a function of effort. They have worked very, very hard. Sometimes you see it, you feel it, and you know it's there because you know what you've done up to this point, and sometimes others don't recognize it. I'm happy we didn't fall just short.
