Social Media Reacts To BYU’s Buzzer-Beater Win Over Clemson

BYU basketball defeated Clemson 67-64 on a night when the 10th-ranked Cougars trailed the Tigers by 22 points in the second half.

Star guard Rob Wright III knocked down a three at the buzzer while fading to his right to give BYU the comeback victory.

However, BYU would not have been in that spot to hit a game-winner if not for the play of All-American candidate AJ Dybantsa.

Dybantsa put together a season-high 28-point performance, outscoring Clemson on his own in the second half (22-21).

Here’s how social media reacted to BYU’s big win at Madison Square Garden.

WOAH 🤯🤯 ROB WRIGHT GAME WINNER

What a 2H comeback from AJ Dybantsa and BYU.

Cougars came back from down 20 with 15 min left in the 2H vs UConn a few weeks back but came up short. This time they finish the job and get the W.
