It was pretty obvious that something was bothering Landry Nnoko in Clemson’s 89-83 loss to Notre Dame this past Monday.
It seemed as if he was a step behind. He uncharacteristically was lagging behind on plays. He wasn’t where he was supposed to be when his teammates were looking for him underneath the basket and he was slow to get out and set screens.
On the defensive end of the court, he could not guard Notre Dame’s Zach Auguste, whom he dominated the year before.
“I was a little under the weather, but that’s no excuse for my performance,” Nnoko said on Friday as the Tigers get set to host Georgia Tech at Greenville’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Saturday.
