CLEMSON – Since March of 2023, the Clemson Tigers have made two NCAA tournament appearances, advanced to the Elite Eight, finished second in regular-season ACC play, and brought in over a dozen new players.
Still, for senior forward R.J. Godfrey, Clemson’s 83-56 win over Morehead State Tuesday transported him back 32 months ago, when the Eagles knocked the first-seeded Tigers out of the NIT Tournament.
For Godfrey, the moment checked off a bucket list item: avenging his former teammate, whose final game as a Tiger was the Morehead State loss.
“This is one game I kind of had circled, not only for me but for who I consider my mentor, Hunter Tyson,” Godfrey said.
