CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Andre Young scored 18 points, Demontez Stitt added 17 and Clemson snapped a two-game slide by holding off Miami 63-59 on Sunday.
Jerai Grant scored 12 for the Tigers (18-9, 7-6 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have won the last five meetings with Miami.
Down by three in the final moments, the Hurricanes (16-11, 4-8) never had the chance for a potentially tying shot.
Clemson elected to foul Adrian Thomas with a three-point lead with 3.4 seconds left. Thomas made one, Stitt got the rebound and was fouled with 1.7 seconds remaining, hit two free throws and Clemson escaped.
Durand Scott scored 16 for Miami and Thomas added 13. It was Miami's ninth ACC game to be decided in the final seconds -- the Hurricanes dropped to 4-5 in those contests.
