Deep 3 with T.O.: Tigers look to rebound at Pitt Wednesday

A wounded Clemson team is walking into the Peterson Events Center looking to right the ship after three consecutive losses. The Tigers are hoping to get Aamir Simms back and that his return sparks some energy into the lineup. It won’t be an easy task, however, as Pitt head coach Jeff Capel has his Panthers heading in the right direction. A six-win improvement a year ago, Capel will be close to an equal improvement this year if they keep playing good basketball. The Panthers prefer to play in the half-court as they are 333rd in the country in adjusted tempo, so you can expect a slow, grind it out game that will be very physical which leads me to my first point.
