The 2018-19 Clemson basketball season was certainly disappointing.
The Tigers had four seniors returning in Marcquise Reed, Shelton Mitchell, Elijah Thomas and David Skara, as well as a talented group of young guys led by Aamir Simms and Clyde Trapp Jr.
Even with that returning talent, Clemson lost several close games in the ACC- including games against NC State, UNC, Miami and Louisville by two points or less- and missed the NCAA Tournament despite being considered a top-6 or top-7 team in the conference coming into the season.
Clemson was a No. 2 seed in the NIT Tournament, but the Tigers were eliminated in the second round by Wichita State in a game where they were just outplayed.
