Clemson Tops Miami 65-55 in ACC Opener

Clemson secured a 65-55 victory over Miami in their ACC opener, marking their sixth consecutive win and improving their record to 9-1. Chase Hunter led the Tigers with 18 points, while Ian Schieffelin contributed a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Miami, now on a six-game losing streak, struggled offensively, particularly with Nijel Pack, their leading scorer, failing to score any points. The game featured several lead changes, especially in the second half, but Clemson managed to pull away late with a decisive 16-7 run. With this win, Clemson is expected to enter the AP Top 25 poll on Monday, bolstered by their earlier victory over No. 4 Kentucky. Miami's struggles continue, as they have yet to find a rhythm this season, currently sitting at 3-6.
