GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points and No. 4 Virginia rallied after blowing a double-digit lead to defeat Clemson 64-57 on Tuesday night.

The Cavaliers (23-6, 12-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) got off to a 12-0 start and looked like they might blow the Tigers out of the building. Instead, Clemson (16-13, 9-8) scratched away and led 47-46 on Gabe DeVoe's 3-pointer with 6:29 remaining.

That's when Virginia scored seven straight points to gain control toward its third straight 12-win ACC season - a feat last accomplished from 1981-83 when Ralph Sampson patrolled the paint for the Cavaliers.

And Virginia could have more to play for as it remained a game back of ACC leader North Carolina heading into the regular season's final weekend.

Anthony Gill had 11 points and 10 rebounds, his third double-double for Virginia this season.

Jaron Blossomgame led Clemson with 31 points.
