Rivers’ late basket lifts No. 18 Clemson

K.C. Rivers wasn’t sure who would make up for the scoring and rebounding usually provided by injured Clemson teammate James Mays. So Rivers decided to do both himself. He finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, hitting a floater with 31.2 seconds to go that broke a tie and led No. 18 Clemson to a 61-58 victory over Purdue in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night.
