CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) –Terrence Oglesby scored 18 points and No. 18 Clemson used its inside power to snap a two-game skid with a 75-57 victory over Virginia on Tuesday night.
The Tigers (23-6) improved to 9-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, guaranteeing back-to-back winning seasons in the league for just the second time in school history.
Calvin Baker had 18 points to lead the Cavaliers (9-17, 3-12), who’ve lost four in a row.
The Tigers had lost back-to-back games to Virginia Tech and Florida State. It was only the second time this season they had lost consecutive games. They trailed the Cavaliers 33-32 early in the second half.
But Oglesby’s outside touch and an assortment of dunks from forwards Trevor Booker, Raymond Sykes and Jerai Grant helped Clemson pull away.
Sykes finished with 14 points while Booker had 13 points and 15 rebounds, his 11th double-double this season.
