Earlier this week, the athletic department released Clemson basketball's non-conference schedule. Take a look below and then we'll break it down.
The Tigers will play 12 non-conference games with two in Las Vegas and two true road games. The MGM Grand Main Event is a solid tournament for the Tigers to participate in. There they'll face UMass for the third straight year and then either Creighton or Rutgers. Hopefully they can avenge last year's defeats to UMass and Rutgers. Regardless, this is the appropriate challenge level for Clemson. All these games are winnable, at least on their face, but would register as quality wins should Clemson earn them.
