Clemson was ahead 33-12 in the first half and still led 43-28 with about 18 minutes left. But, behind leading scorer Jack McClinton, the Hurricanes (19-8, 6-7) used a 32-16 surge to get back in it.
When McClinton swished a 3-pointer with 6:47 remaining, Miami had its first and only lead of the game, 60-59. That's when Clemson shook off its funk to regain control.
