CHARLOTTE — Just call the ACC Tournament the ‘Get Back Tour’ for Clemson.
When the Tigers found out they would square off with Wake Forest again in the second round, it was a game that piqued the locker room’s interest, seeing as the Demon Deacons knocked off Clemson 85-77 last month in Winston-Salem.
With the win, the Tigers move on to the quarterfinals and will face North Carolina, another team that beat them in the regular season. Clemson fought hard in that one, but ultimately fell 67-63 in the Dean Dome.
With the Tar Heels on deck, veteran guard Jestin Porter said the Tigers have another chance at avenging a regular-season defeat.
