MEMPHIS – Clemson is the higher seed, but the Tigers are also the underdog in today’s NCAA Tournament game against New Mexico. That doesn’t matter to PJ Hall. He is focused on his own team.
Today’s first-round game between the 11th-seeded New Mexico Lobos and sixth-seeded Clemson is one of the trendy upset picks in the tournament. Despite the Tigers' higher placement, the Lobos are favored by 2 1/2 points.
Hall said the Tigers see what’s been said about the matchup, which tips off at 3:10 (EDT) and will be broadcast on TruTV.
