Clemson Earns Bragging Rights with Tight Win over South Carolina
Ace Buckner scored 19 points and Carter Welling 16 as Clemson improved to 7-0 at home by holding off a late South Carolina rally in their rivalry game.
- On Tuesday, Clemson Tigers beat South Carolina Gamecocks 68-61 at Littlejohn Coliseum, improving to 9-3 overall and 7-0 at home.
- Nearly eight minutes into the first half, Clemson took control after trailing 12-5 early and built a 34-27 halftime lead, shooting 50%.
- Late, Kapic scored five straight points to pull South Carolina to 65-59, then Welling and Buckner hit late free throws to seal Clemson's win.
- The matchup was the 175th meeting in the rivalry as South Carolina still leads the all-time series; Clemson now heads to face Cincinnati on Dec. 21, while South Carolina hosts Albany later this month.
- Depth and availability will factor into upcoming games, as Zac Foster, freshman reserve guard, was ruled out with a lower-body injury, and Butta Johnson missed the second half with a left-thigh issue.

But this one had a tinge of deflation with freshman Zac Foster in parts unknown after he suffered an injury to his right knee in the first half.
