Comeback a stunning turnaround

"We were as down as we could be at halftime," said Weber. "I sat down with them and said, 'Guys, we've embarrassed ourselves. We have to learn to play and compete. And you might want to pass and cut.'

"Clemson shut down a little, which is human nature. The amazing thing to me was how fast we caught up. Then it became a gut check game.

"Give it to Demetri McCamey. He had two points and he might have played the best game of his career. He led us, he talked and maybe he has grown up a little bit. Maybe we grew up a little bit as a team."
