On their next possession, the Seminoles rebounded three consecutive misses at the offensive end, Singleton scoring from inside to push the lead to 64-61.

Clemson (5-4, 0-1) got within 64-63 on two Devin Booker free throws with 2:10 to play, but another Dulkys 3-pointer with 1:55 remaining made it 67-63. The Seminoles sealed the victory at the free-throw line, hitting 6-of-6 from the line in the final 38 seconds.
