CLEMSON — Brad Brownell had a unique challenge heading into Tuesday night’s rivalry game with South Carolina. He does not have a single player from the Palmetto State on his roster.
The good news is he has a four-year player in Dillon Hunter and the son of a former Clemson star in Ace Buckner, who both understand the rivalry really well. It’s no surprise they both shined in the Tigers’ 68-61 win over the Gamecocks at Littlejohn Coliseum.
“It becomes a little more challenging because, I don’t know, it is the first time, in I don’t know how many years, that we do not have a South Carolina kid on our roster,” Brownell said.
