The Clemson basketball season got underway Friday night against the Georgia Bulldogs. It was the second game of the home-and-home series that saw Clemson blown out in Stegeman Coliseum last year. Things got off to a better start this time.
With the recent knee injury to PG Shelton Mitchell (2-4 weeks), Avry Holmes moved to PG and Gabe DeVoe started at SG. They didn’t miss a beat. The Tigers started quickly, relying on strong man-to-man defense to build a 21-9 lead at the nine minute mark.
From there the game evened out, with the Tigers defending but not extending their lead to put the game away.
