Nick Davidson scored 25 points off the bench as No. 22 Clemson won its eighth consecutive game Tuesday night, defeating Boston College 74-50 in Clemson, S.C.
Davidson, a transfer from Nevada, notched his season-high scoring total as Clemson improved to 15-3, 5-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Davidson shot 8 of 11 from the floor, including 4 of 6 from behind the arc. Carter Welling and RJ Godfrey each added 10 points and eight rebounds apiece for the Tigers.
Fred Payne poured in 20 points as the Eagles (7-10, 0-4) lost their fourth straight game.
Boston College led 16-13 midway through the first half after Jayden Hastings made one of two free throws. Clemson then responded with a 16-2 run and wouldn't trail for the remainder of the game. All of Clemson's points during that surge were scored by Davidson, who went on an absolute tear while swishing a trio of 3-pointers and throwing down a highlight-worthy one-handed dunk.
Davidson tack on another 3-pointer before someone else scored for the Tigers, making it 19 consecutive points scored for him in the first half.
Clemson led by 25 points, 66-41, when Welling knocked down a free throw with about eight minutes to play in the second half.
Boston College turned the ball over 19 times and Clemson flipped those errors into 24 points. Meanwhile, the Eagles only scored three points off 10 cough-ups from the Tigers.
The victory goes down as another impressive win for Clemson, which is eyeing what would be its third consecutive NCAA Tournament berth under coach Brad Brownell. The Tigers entered this game ranking 21st nationally in scoring defense, allowing their opponents to score just an average of 65.6 points per game. They're now 11-0 on the season when holding opposing teams below that number.
For Boston College, the 0-4 start in league play puts the Eagles at the bottom of the ACC standings. If they finish in the bottom three in the conference, they'll miss the ACC Tournament for the second straight year.
