Despite a valiant effort, Clemson succumbed to a series of setbacks in the latter stages of the game against No. 12 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday. The Tigers (13-6 overall, 3-5 ACC) found themselves in a precarious position late in the contest. However, a string of three consecutive turnovers by Ian Schieffelin dashed their hopes of sealing the victory.
Duke capitalized on the opportunity, seizing control in the closing seconds. Controversy ensued as a contentious foul call on Josh Beadle paved the way for Tyrese Proctor to secure the decisive points from the foul line with just one second remaining on the clock.
