Blossomgame's 15 helps Clemson to 62-60 win over S. Carolina
Avry Holmes made three of four free throws in the final 20.3 seconds to give Clemson (9-2) its first road win ever over a ranked nonconference team.
PJ Dozier had a career-high 26 points for the Gamecocks (9-2), but missed a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

After Dozier's final points of the game put the Gamecocks ahead 58-55, Blossomgame tipped in a miss by Shelton Mitchell with 1:28 to go. Marcquise Reed's free throws with 52.5 seconds left put the Tigers up for good.
Reed finished with 14 points.
Clemson shot 41.2 percent (21 of 51) against a South Carolina defense that came in ranked third in the country allowing teams to make just 34.6 percent of their shots.
