The biggest name is Joe Girard, a highly-coveted scorer from Syracuse who LSU was also going after. The Tigers went into the transfer portal and added four immediate impact players. Normally, you’d expect the team to take a step back after losing all of that, but Coach Brownell took action. The duo also combined for 133 3-pointers (47% of the team’s total). Brevin Galloway was an athletic on-ball defender. Tyson was Clemson’s most efficient scorer and rebounder. It has to be now and it will be.Ĭlemson lost two starters in Hunter Tyson and Brevin Galloway. This season is the pay-off for Clemson basketball fans who have supported a program that has mostly disappointed them for the five years since the Sweet 16 run.
This would be safe and fair, but I’m not doing it.
As such, perhaps expectations should be severely limited. In the 13 years of the Coach Brownell era, the Tigers have advanced past the NCAA Round of 64 just once.
