Jordan Williams made school history and host Maryland defeated Clemson 79-77 to snap a two-game losing streak Saturday in College Park.

Williams totaled 16 points and 11 rebounds to record his 13th consecutive double-double, breaking the program record set by Len Elmore during the 1973-74 season.

Clemson closed the first half with a 7-0 run and trailed 40-36 at intermission. Though the Terps (12-7, 2-3 ACC) led for the entire second half, Clemson (13-6, 2-3 ACC) hung tough and was within two possession for the majority of the final 20 minutes.

Maryland went 9 for 10 at the free-throw line in the final two minutes, enough to overcome a six-point flurry by Demontez Stitt during that span. The Tigers trailed 78-75 with 10 seconds left, but opted for an interior bucket with 1.6 seconds left rather than a potential game-tying 3-pointer.

Cliff Tucker added 15 points and Adrian Bowie and Terrell Stoglin had 13 apiece for the Terrapins.

Stitt led Clemson with 20 points. Jerai Grant added 15, getting back on track after his 10-game streak of double-digit efforts was snapped against UNC. Devin Booker added 11 off the bench, including nine in a row during the second half. Stitt and Andre Young each reached a season high in assists, with eight and nine, respectively.
