Clemson vs. NC State Postgame Notes

Clemson held NC State to 66 points in Sunday’s game, 13 below its season average and 20 below its average at home entering the contest.
NC State shot 45 percent for the game and won its first game of the season in which it did not shoot at least 50 percent as a team.
Clemson committed just six turnovers in the game, its lowest figure since producing only five against Purdue on Nov. 28; ironically, two of the miscues occurred in the final 10 seconds of the game.
Clemson held NC State leading scorer C.J. Leslie to just six points, 10 below his average, and to single digits for just the second time this season.
The Tigers shot over 70 percent at the free throw line for a third straight game, the first time that has happened this season.
Devin Booker posted a career-high 27 points, the most by a Tiger player since Andre Young scored 29 last season against Georgia Tech at home.
Booker made 13 field goals, the most by a Clemson player since K.C. Rivers also made 13 in a win over Liberty in the 2008-09 season.
Booker’s older brother, Trevor, never made 13 field goals in a game for Clemson. Trevor’s high total was 12 in a win over Furman in the 2009-10 season.
