When Clemson took a 21-point lead over No. 10 BYU into halftime on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic in Madison Square Garden, most everyone expected the Cougars to make a run. They’re just too good to hold down for 40 minutes.
However, there probably weren’t many expecting the Tigers to experience a total collapse over the final 20 minutes of action. 12 minutes into the second half, and Clemson had scored just four points, allowing BYU to almost completely wipe out the double-digit deficit.
With just over three minutes remaining in the game, the collapse was complete, with the Cougars taking their first lead since early in the contest.
