Part of the reason why Shelton Mitchell and Marcquise Reed decided to come back to Clemson for one more season and withdrew their name from the NBA Draft on Wednesday was the opportunity to experience another run in the NCAA Tournament next year.
Both players admitted prior to declaring themselves eligible for the NBA Draft back on April 2 that the Tigers’ run to the Sweet 16 was an experience like no other. They were in the middle of March Madness and a lot of the attention was on the upstart Tigers, who were making their first Sweet 16 appearance in 21 years.
