Brad Brownell started his press conference to preview tonight’s game at Notre Dame by saying the obvious, “It’s a big week for our team.”
It’s a huge week for the Tigers, who need to beat the Irish tonight and then Syracuse on Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. Heading into tonight’s game, the Tigers sit as one of the last four teams out on some experts’ bracketology reports, while some have them as one of the first four in.
The NCAA’s NET rankings have Clemson at No. 39 as of Wednesday morning.
