CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Sharrod Ford dunked with less than a second
to play to give Clemson a 66-64 victory over Virginia Tech on
Tuesday night.
Olu Babalola of Clemson (15-13, 5-10 Atlantic Coast Conference)
hit a 3-pointer with 9.8 seconds remaining to tie the game at 64.
On the next possession, Clemson's
Vernon Hamilton stole the ball
and passed the ball to
Shawan Robinson, who found Ford streaking to
the basket.
Officials reviewed Ford's dunk and concluded he made the shot
before time expired. The win means the Tigers will finish with at
least a .500 record and thus are eligible for the NIT.
Clemson had a seven-point lead with 5:08 left, but the Hokies
(15-11, 7-8) went on a 10-2 run to take a 59-58 lead with 1:31
remaining.
Carlos Dixon, who led Virginia Tech with 25 points,
scored eight points in the run.
Ford, who had 18 points, made two free throws, then Zabian
Dowdell hit a 3-pointer to give the Hokies a 62-60 lead with 53
seconds to play. Dixon's two free throws put Virginia Tech ahead
64-61 with 16 seconds left.
Dowdell and
Deron Washington each added 12 points for the
Hokies.
