CLEMSON – Fourth-seeded Clemson heads into the 65th ACC Basketball Tournament this week in a different position than in past years. The Tigers are one of four teams that nabbed a double bye, and they’ve already locked up a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
That gives head coach Brownell a level of comfort heading into the tournament, which started Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
“We have known for a while that we are an NCAA Tournament team and we've earned that. Our play in non-conference was really good. We really didn't have any bad outings, but we had a lot of performances that were high level,” Brownell said.
