CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Scott Wood hit a 3-pointer with one second to go to lift North Carolina State to a 58-57 win over Clemson on Sunday.
 
Wood's bucket helped the Wolfpack (17-7, 6-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) end a three-game ACC losing streak.
 
N.C. State's Lorenzo Brown, returning after missing two games with an injured ankle, drove to the hoop before passing to Wood on the winning basket. Brown scored 15 points in a game the preseason pick to win the ACC needed to keep from slipping below .500 in the league.
 
Clemson (12-11, 4-7) led for almost the whole game, but Milton Jennings missed the front end of a 1-in-1 with 12.3 seconds left. Freshman Jordan Roper led Clemson with 17 points in his first ACC start.
