As a whole, the NC State bench may be lacking but the one super sub T.J. Warren, a freshman from Durham, was the difference in the Wolfpack’s 66-62 squeaker at home against Clemson.<\/p>\n
Warren went nine of 11 in 25 minutes of playing time including a big three for 21 points and six rebounds. Only two other non-starters played for the Wolfpack and they managed zero points and zero rebounds in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
State seemingly had the game in hand up by eight at the half, 34-26, after scoring the first 10 points of the game and getting 14 points off the bench from Warren. But midway through the second half Clemson went on a modest 6-1 run to cut it to three at 46-43.<\/p>\n
Clemson came all the way back to tie it at 43 with 3:37 to go on an old-fashioned three-point play by Tiger Rod Hall. State’s Richard Howell completed a three-point play himself to put the Pack up 60-57 with less than two minutes to play.<\/p>\n
It stayed close the rest of the way but State would never trail again and wrapped it up on free throws in last 10 seconds by Scott Wood and Lorenzo Brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
