The Clemson basketball Tigers have now lost six in a row with Virginia Tech becoming the latest home loss on Sunday night. A season that held such promise as recently as New Year’s Eve suddenly feels like a return to the old and familiar for Clemson fans.
Since we’re at the season’s mid-point, taking a closer look at what’s behind the Tigers’ woes only makes sense. It’s easy to point the finger at Coach Brad Brownell or blame inconsistent shooting, but those over-simplify the deeper issues at play. Basketball is complex, and there are many reasons this particular squad has struggled.
