Jordan Roper scored 23 points and shot 7-of-10 on 3-pointers to lead Clemson to an 84-75 win over Florida State on Saturday. The Tigers (8-6, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) led for nearly the entire game, but the Seminoles (10-3, 0-1) tied it at 54 after Devon Bookert was fouled on a 3, making the shot and the free throw. Clemson then went on a 14-5 run that included Roper's final 3 of the game, which put the Tigers up 63-56 with 5:27 to go. Roper's seven 3s were a career high. Sidy Djitte added 14 points for Clemson, including making 8 of his 10 free throws as Florida State started fouling early. The junior also had nine rebounds. Malik Beasley, one of the two freshman starts for the Seminoles, led Florida State with 23 points. Bookert added 21 points, shooting 6-of-9 on 3-pointers.
