Duke Brings Clemson’s ACC Tourney Run to Screeching Halt

CHARLOTTE — Clemson’s run in the ACC Tournament came to an abrupt halt on Friday night as top-seeded Duke made easy work of the fifth-seeded Tigers 73-61 in the semifinals of the event in the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.

Clemson looked like a team that had played three consecutive late-night games, as the shots were routinely short, hitting off the front of the rim. On the defensive end, the Tigers had no answer for Cameron Boozer, who posted a double-double with 24 points and 14 rebounds.

RJ Godfrey led Clemson with 18 points, while also pulling down six boards.
