CLEMSON, S.C. – Despite a career night from Amari Robinson – a bonafide Clemson legend – the Georgia State Panthers came into Littlejohn Coliseum and took a 78-72 win over the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

It was all Amari all the time on Saturday. Robinson got on the board with a layup just nine seconds into the ball game and closed the first quarter in double digits with 10 points, the Tigers trailed 22-20 going into the second.

A well-balanced 19-point effort from the Tigers in the second quarter outpaced the Panthers, and Clemson took a slim two-point advantage into the locker rooms at the half.

Robinson came out on fire in the third quarter. Of Clemson’s 20 points in the third stanza, All-Conference Amari had 16. She literally didn’t miss and dropped those 16 points on 5-5 from the field, 1-1 from outside, and 5-5 from the free throw line, and contributed three rebounds as CU took a two-point edge into the final frame.

The Panthers’ hot outside shooting in the fourth closed the game out for Georgia State as they outscored Clemson 21-13 in the final period to leave Littlejohn Coliseum with a 78-72 win.

UP NEXT: Clemson looks to get back in the win column by hosting Air Force on Tuesday, December 19 at 1:00 p.m.

Amari Robinson is one of a kind!
