CLEMSON – There are 9,388 servicemembers who are buried in the American cemetery in Normandy, France, and Clemson head basketball coach Brad Brownell wants the members of his team to understand the significance of those white headstones.
The Tigers head to France next week and will play three exhibition games against French all-star teams over the course of about 10 days. The team will take part in a ton of sightseeing, including a trip to Paris and a trip to Normandy, where the D-Day Invasion occurred during World War II.
“I am excited to see the Eiffel Tower, but I am petrified of heights,” Brownell said.
