Tyrese Proctor’s late free throws help No. 12 Duke hold off Clemson 72-71

Associated Press  

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke coach Jon Scheyer didn’t want to say too much to Tyrese Proctor before the guard headed to the line with 1 second left and the 12th-ranked Blue Devils down a point to Clemson. Proctor hit both free throws to help Duke hang on for Saturday’s 72-71 win, barely averting the program’s first home loss to the Tigers in nearly three decades. “I know I’m one of the best free-throw shooters in the country, and just took my time and knocked them both in.” That gave the Tigers a final desperate possession, with Joseph Girard III heaving a long throw for Hall — who ended up in a collision with Duke defender Mark Mitchell, sending both to the court as the horn sounded. They were on the brink of a huge boost for their postseason resume, up 69-65 on Hall’s two free throws at the 2:15 mark before multiple turnovers helped keep Duke alive.
