00:00 Joe Gerrard and Clemson in the road, Purple Syracuse in the home white as we are underway
00:06 In what is a terrific ACC battle in February two teams trying to bolster that tournament resume
00:13 Brown aggressive swipes it away from Hall
00:21 and slams it down to open the scoring
00:25 When we spoke with Brad Brown now yesterday, he said that was key in this game for Clinton
00:32 They cannot turn the ball over we must keep Syracuse out of transition
00:36 Chase Hunter the immediate answer
00:40 This game he's been the catalyst to a good Syracuse energy and the key thing is he's matched up against BJ Hall
00:47 Judamitz
00:54 Money, Judamitz
00:56 Jeff has been a double-double machine for this Tigers team trying to spin his way free and he does
01:03 That's the area of concern for Syracuse
01:06 Yes, PJ Hall gets a lot of attention
01:10 But Sheflin going up against the smaller Taylor and they're going to try to take advantage of that matchup
01:15 Brown lines up a wide open play and buries it
01:19 And after they let up 92 against Louisville on Wednesday great defensive pressure to start this game
01:26 Clark was the open man and made the orange paint
01:30 Brad Brown now shouting instructions for them to run their offense
01:35 Lobbed in PJ Hall he can make it look too easy in time
01:42 Off to Taylor
01:44 Two seconds to shoot, Mince has to heave it
01:46 And hits it, Judamitz as the shot clock sounds
01:50 Inside to PJ Hall, Hunter right back to Hall to give it go and PJ Hall rocks the rim
02:04 Syracuse had a great rhythm early. They've come out of this timeout
02:09 They've got no points in the last two minutes Hunter pull up hot nothing
02:13 But the bottom of the net that was not the case to start this game off
02:17 Mince gets into the lane
02:20 Syracuse needed that, Judamitz delivers
02:22 Chauncey Wiggins attacking the glass, they try to bolster their resume
02:35 Offensive rebound, kick out Gerrard
02:39 His first shot against his former team
02:44 Clemson on a 15-2 run to grab control
02:46 The rebound would be right there
02:48 Off the offensive rebound, throw it back out to one of the best three point shooters in the country
02:54 Gerrard who was a four year starter here at Syracuse, a top 20 player in scoring in program history
03:01 And another offensive rebound leads the second chance point
03:05 Clemson on a 7-0 run taking control here in the first half
03:10 Here's RJ Contrey trying to spin his way free and he hits it
03:14 He said it, these guys want to win this game for Joe Gerrard
03:19 They know how much it means to the New York native
03:22 Great eyes by Dylan Hunter, Tigers three on one, give and go for an easy transition two
03:33 Gerrard a deep three, got it! Joe Gerrard two for two
03:39 Back in the dome
03:41 Great ball movement by Clemson
03:43 That scene looks familiar in this building right now, Clemson rolling
03:47 It's been crippling in this game, it's allowed the Tigers to go on a 14-0 run
03:52 Three on one here for the Orange, on top Copeland, much needed
03:57 Just unable to finish
03:59 Jump down low, Brown finally beats Hall
04:07 What a pass by Copeland, again Copeland hunted a pet of passers in the ACC
04:15 That's a beautiful lob pass to Malik Brown
04:18 And Hall answers on the other end
04:26 Hunter spun his way free, can't hit it, another offensive rebound
04:31 And then they've limited the dribble drives, which has not broken down their defense
04:36 Bell step back three, got it!
04:39 And Syracuse needed it, Chris Bell's first basket of the afternoon and it's a three
04:45 You're talking about a guy coming off a 30-point performance
04:49 Where he was 8 of 10 from the 3-point line, big time shooter
04:55 PJ Hall continues to show why he's one of the best in the ACC
05:00 Malik Brown with two fouls, if I'm Clemson, I'm going at him every time
05:04 Again, if PJ Hall catches the ball two feet in the paint like that, he's going to score every time
05:10 Copeland rejected by Hall
05:17 And you'll live with that if you're Syracuse
05:20 No Joseph Gerrard on of the court, you'll live with perimeter jumpers
05:25 Bell, hits it again!
05:31 A potentially big swing at the end of his first half
05:36 Hall goes right into Hema, PJ Hall!
05:40 That is why PJ Hall, I believe, will be playing for a nice paycheck when he leaves Clemson
05:48 That's a big
05:50 Seven seconds to work with, here's Gerrard
05:54 Against his former team, gives it up to Clark
05:57 One second left, Hunter beats the buzzer!
06:01 Got it off just in time, Adrian Autry disagrees
06:05 And if it is good, you cannot close out the half any better
06:10 If you're Clemson, I think that is going to be good
06:12 Looks like the ball was out of his hands
06:15 Here's JJ Starling, a quiet first half for him
06:19 Fading away, hits it! Maybe that will get the Orange going
06:24 Starling lines up a three, draws it!
06:30 JJ Starling!
06:32 I've been impressed with Hall's defense, in particular his blocks, he's kept them in play
06:40 Syracuse forcing turnovers, now can they cash in on the other end?
06:45 Bell for three!
06:47 Got it! Pass the foul!
06:50 To set this second half up, Judah Mintz with the dribble drive, and Bell can
06:56 Liggins, to Gerrard, trying to quiet the crowd, and he does!
07:07 Hall, trying to muscle his way into Brown, leaves it for Sheplin
07:11 And one!
07:13 Ian Sheplin, count it plus the foul
07:17 Interior passing by PJ Hall, out of the double team, Sheplin and one
07:22 Here's Bell
07:28 Another offensive rebound, Starling, through traffic, gets it to go!
07:34 JJ Starling
07:37 Two possession game, into Liggins who jams it, right in the face of Brown
07:43 Copeland's been quiet today, trying to spin his way free, so crafty, Quadir Copeland
07:53 Hunter, an attack bowed right to the rack for two
08:01 He has just been solid, that's his eighth point to go long with five assists
08:07 Wait!
08:09 Brown, on a rack attack
08:11 A much more aggressive
08:13 Great ball movement, leads to a Sheplin dunk
08:19 Ian Sheplin, ripping the rim off there
08:22 Gerrard steps into a three, knocks it down, Joe Gerrard
08:30 Go for the gamble right here, you don't get it, you're out of place
08:35 And Joe Gerrard, you give him an open look
08:38 Mitz, in attack mode, leans in, it doesn't drop
08:43 Finally, Kirk Tom, Quadir Copeland
08:46 Again, don't tell me winning does not matter, and the last two seasons, nobody has done it better or more than the ACC
08:54 Again, I think it's a hard argument, I know, of Copeland
08:58 And let's see if they give P.J. Hall a touch
09:01 Hall, right to the rim, one-handed jam, the Hall-American
09:07 To Hall, spinning his way free, and fires Clemson back in front
09:16 It really is, and that ball did not even touch the rim
09:19 Bell, searches, needs his three, and Bell delivers
09:26 Clemson needs to get it over the line, and they do with Hunter
09:31 Right to the rim, scoop to the hoop, Chase Hunter
09:34 Again, Chase Hunter, the awareness, we talked about their experience
09:39 A lot of times guys, when they pull this out, he knows he has the advantage of beautiful reverse layup
09:45 They finish the week with two big road wins in the ACC
09:50 And win this 77-68
09:53 48 points into paint, they dominated the glass
09:57 Blast.
