CLEMSON — After three rather easy tune-up wins at home, the Clemson basketball team hit the road for the first time this weekend against its first quality opponent of the season.
The Tigers’ new-look team held up well for the most part, but ultimately fell 79-74 to Georgetown in Washington, D.C.
“Our first real game against somebody with this kind of competitive spirit and ability,” head coach Brad Brownell said. “They run really good stuff, get the ball to good places, get their best players good action to make them successful.”
While Brownell was happy with the level of compete, he didn’t think his team did enough defensively in the second half to beat a team of the caliber of the Hoyas.
