GREENSBORO, N.C. – The NC State men's basketball team shot just 25 percent in the second half and allowed Clemson to pull away for an 80-54 win Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the New York Life ACC Tournament held at Greensboro Coliseum.
NC State had the ball trailing 45-42 with a little over 16 minutes to play, but turned it over and Clemson went down the other way and buried a three-pointer to double its lead.
The three-pointer was the start of a 10-0 run for the Tigers to extend its lead to 55-42 with 12:43 to go. NC State scored back-to-back layups from Terquavion Smith to cut the deficit to nine, 55-46, but the Tigers put the game away for good with a 12-0 run to take a 67-46 lead with 7:22 to play.
DJ Burns led the Pack with 12 points while Terquavion Smith added 11. Jarkel Joiner and Jack Clark each added 10 points. Clark added four steals in the loss.
Smith recorded a three-point play on NC State's first possession of the game and never trailed in the opening 12 minutes of the game. The Pack had a 20-11 lead, but Clemson went on a 13-0 run to take a 24-20 lead with 7:42 to play in the first half. The Tigers would never trail again after taking the first half lead.
Clemson was led by PJ Hall and Ian Schieffelin who each had 15 points. Chase Hunter added 11 points and had a game-high nine assists while Hunter Tyson posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
