CLEMSON – Head basketball coach Brad Brownell spent 40 minutes with the media Wednesday morning, and he made it clear that despite another season without an NCAA Tournament bid or even a berth in the NIT, he feels like his program is headed in the right direction and he isn’t going anywhere.
The Tigers finished the season by losing four of the final five games, including blowing an 18-point lead to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament last Wednesday. Five consecutive wins in ACC play in January (Florida St., Syracuse, Louisville, Duke and Miami) had the Tigers poised for a big season, but the Tigers lost eight of the last 13 in the conference.
