PROVIDENCE – Too little, too late.
The Tigers (27-7) played a historically putrid offensive first half, not having enough to complete a late second-half comeback, and lost to McNeese (28-6), 69-67.
Clemson’s shooting woes traveled up to Providence for the first half, with the Tigers’ three-point struggles coming along for the ride.
The offense started 0-8 from deep, and the scoring droughts that plagued the Tigers in their loss to Louisville returned in the first half. In one instance, the offense recorded two baskets in seven minutes as McNeese pulled ahead with a sizeable lead.
Chase Hunter attributed those struggles to simply missing open looks, wondering what the result could've been had the Tigers seen a few early shots connect.
