Tigers find long lost can of whoopass, open it

In the first half, I checked the score — the Tigers were up 4. Then Ole Miss scored real quick and the Tigers turned it over.

I turned the channel. Several minutes later I checked again and the team was down and I was pretty damn sure the season had about 23 minutes left, in accordance with prophecy. Then sometime after the half, I checked back in, and much to my amazement Clemson was up by almost 20. What’s more, they held on to that lead and went on to win 89-68.

I’ll mark this one down as a pretty solid win. Booker was impressive, scoring a career high 21 points. And the team is now 23-10.

Next up for the Tigers is a game against #2 seeded Syracuse, “in the most Orange of tournament quarterfinals on Wednesday night.” Indeed.

Hey Nomes, congrats on the win and I know Cuse Nation is looking forward to the game…I was wondering if you’d like to throw some info back and forth for our readers…you give me The Top Five Things Syracuse Fans Need To Know About Clemson Basketball and I’ll do the same for you (swapping teams of course…). Doesn’t specifically have to be about the team and stats…could be an explanation of how you guys ended up with Orange and Purple as your colors (we get a similiar question all the time…)

Talk soon…
