Clemson (9-8, 3-4) had won three games in a row, beginning with a home victory by 81-70 against NC State on Jan. 4.

Funderburk, who also had a team-high 11 rebounds, has been the leading scorer for NC State in five of the last six games. Bryce was playing his second game since missing four straight with a concussion suffered during a team workout.

Clemson started the new year by topping North Carolina in Chapel Hill for the first time ever a week ago, aided by a comeback from 10 points down in the final two minutes of regulation, and followed that by upsetting No. 3 Duke on Tuesday night.

But in Saturday's game, the Tigers were hurt by shooting 9-for-23 on free throws and 5-for-20 on 3-point attempts. Clemson made 26 foul shots in the victory against NC State earlier this month.

Facing a double-figure hole, the Tigers made a second-half move to close within 49-41 with nearly 8 1/2 minutes left. The Wolfpack scored the next five points, while Clemson went through a four-minute span without scoring.

The Tigers cut it to 56-50, but Braxton Beverly's 3-pointer with 47 seconds to go helped the Wolfpack close out the victory despite a 3-pointer from Clemson's Curran Scott with 21 seconds remaining. Those were Beverly's only points of the game.

NC State held a 36-24 halftime lead, making a key first-half run as Clemson missed eight of nine shots during a stretch.
