Blacksburg, Virginia—
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Jarell Eddie scored 15 points and DorianFinney-Smith snapped out of a six-game shooting skid and added 12
points on Saturday, and Virginia Tech squandered almost all of a
big second-half lead and hung on to beat Clemson 67-65.
The Hokies (13-10, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) led by double
figures until the last four minutes, when Clemson went to a full
court press that was effective and went on a 15-3 run that kept it
tense until the final buzzer. The victory was just the second in
nine games for Tech.
Andre Young and K.J. McDaniels scored 14 points each and Devin
Booker 11 for the Tigers (11-11, 3-5). They had the ball with a
chance to tie or win in the final seconds, but McDaniels missed two
free throws, and Tanner Smith's shot from the baseline missed as
time expired.
