When the Clemson men’s basketball team heads off to Italy on Saturday, its more of a business trip than what it has experienced the two previous times it went overseas.
The Tigers visited Italy in the summer of 2013 and then in 2017 it went to Spain. Yes, they did play basketball, but the trips were more educational trips than they were basketball trips.
This time around, Clemson is all business as it gets set to represent the United States in the World University Games next week in Italy.
“This is much different than kind of the trips to Spain and Italy that we have taken previously,” head coach Brad Brownell said.
