Clemson Basketball, NCAA Tournament Hopes Stung

Clemson basketball suffered a heartbreaking loss at the hand of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on the road Tuesday night. The Tigers fell 75-73 and the loss, in all likelihood, ends any chance of getting a NCAA Tournament berth for Clemson basketball this season.

The Tigers played a phenomenal first half. They shot the ball well and had exceptional ball movement, taking a 44-35 lead into halftime. Unfortunately, Clemson basketball allowed Georgia Tech to get back into the game and the Yellow Jackets cut the lead to nine with just 11:28 remaining.

Georgia Tech continued to chip away at the lead, going on several runs, and it just seemed the Jackets could not miss.
