No sympathy from this blog site over the recent loss by Clemson to Miami….final score was 63-66. Denis Clemente hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 50.9 seconds left to help Miami rally from a 12-point deficit and beat Clemson 66-63. The Clemson hot-streak came to a end and to be honest they gave this one away. They were winning the entire game until the end but all that matters is the final score. Miami will now go to play Duke. Clemson should receive a bid from the NIT though…Clemson entered the ACC Tournament (seeded 9th) having won each of his last three league contests for the first time since 1964. Clemson had won four of its last five games entering the ACC Tournament.
Side notes – Clemson is the only charter member of the ACC never to win the tournament championship…JJ Redick was named ACC Player of the Year for the second year straight, Duke’s Sheldon Williams was named Defensive Player of the Year and UNC Coach Roy Williams was named Coach of the Year…..the question here is will JJ Redick win NCAA Player of the Year or will the ‘Zags Adam Morrison win it???
