BROOKLYN, N.Y. — In the 65-year history of the Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Tournament, Clemson has won just 19 games.
That is right, just 19.
The Tigers are 19-64 all-time in what is known as the best college basketball tournament in the country. Clemson has never won an ACC Tournament Championship and has only played in the finals twice … in 1962 when Press Maravich led the Tigers there before losing to Wake Forest and in 2008 when Oliver Purnell’s team lost to North Carolina.
But here they are, thanks to the program’s best regular season since 2008, two wins away from playing for an ACC Championship.
