Junior guard Chase Hunter totaled 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting and keyed the surge in the opening 20 minutes with 19 points in the first half.

Coby McAllister kept the Bulldogs in it, hitting four 3-point shots in the second half.
But when The Citadel closed it to 70-64, Hunter Tyson hit a short jumper, extending the Clemson lead back to eight, to end the momentum.
The Bulldogs made 11 of 25 behind the 3-point line.
