Brad Brownell does not think he has walked under any ladders, broke any mirrors or came across a black cat in the last month, but something has happened.
Since its Jan. 26 game at NC State, his Clemson team has lost three games on the last play of the game. Twice the Tigers lost on a last second shot and the third time their last second attempt to win the game went awry.
Clemson is coming off back-to-back one-point losses on the road, in which Miami bounced in a last-second shot to beat the Tigers in Coral Gables and then at Louisville Marquise Reed’s potential game-winner was blocked and John Newman’s follow at the horn bounced off the rim.
