Clemson dominates 2nd half to win at Wake Forest 76-62

Jordan Roper scored all 16 of his points after halftime for the Tigers (14-8, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who took control in the second half to erase an eight-point halftime deficit and gradually pull away in the final 9½ minutes for a league road win. The Tigers shot 55 percent and made 21 of 23 free throws en route to scoring 56 second-half points, showing far more energy and a greater attacking mindset. [...] after scoring 20 points in the first half — its lowest total in any half all season — Clemson's 56 second-half points were the most in any half in 185 games under coach Brad Brownell, now in his sixth season. Bryant Crawford had 13 points for the Demon Deacons (10-12, 1-9), who shot 42 percent and missed 10 free throws — each one looming larger as the Tigers began to stretch out their lead to double figures in the final 4 minutes. Wake Forest had lost six straight coming in, with the last four coming against teams ranked in the AP Top 25 — a brutal stretch that included the Demon Deacons blowing a seven-point lead in the final 30 seconds to lose to then-No.
