CLEMSON S.C. — Syracuse (19-12, 10-8 Atlantic Coast) dropped its regular season finale to Clemson (19-12, 9-9), 67-55, on Saturday. The Orange defense was the story of Saturday’s first half, but an unproductive offense led to a Tigers’ comeback. For the fourth time in the last two weeks, SU blew a halftime lead.
