Illinois 76, No. 18 Clemson 74

CLEMSON, S.C. — Mike Tisdale hit the go-ahead jumper with 41 seconds left then blocked David Potter’s driving shot on Clemson’s next possession as Illinois rallied from 23 points down. The Illini (5-2) looked finished, down 51-28 early in the second half and with leading scorer Demetri McCamey saddled with three fouls and two points. But Illinois finally got going with a 35-10 run to move in front in the school’s biggest comeback ever. Demontez Still missed a driving shot at the buzzer for Clemson (6-2).

Boston College 62, Michigan 58

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Corey Raji scored a season-high 24 points and Boston College held on in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Raji scored his first nine points — all in the lane — in the first 7 minutes. He had half of his team’s points when the Eagles (5-2) led 34-24 at halftime. Manny Harris scored 19 for the Wolverines (3-3). Boston College had an 11-point lead with 3 minutes left but needed to make stops and free throws after Harris’ 3-pointer made it 57-51 with 1:57 left.
