Joe Girard made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament during his sophomore season at Syracuse and now he wants one more deep run in the tourney. He says Clemson is the place to make that happen.
Girard, who spent four seasons at Syracuse but has an extra year due to COVID, announced Sunday morning that he will transfer to Clemson and play for head coach Brad Brownell in his final season.
As a junior, Girard shot a career-best 40.3% from outside while scoring 12.8 points per game and averaging 4.2 assists. Girard played point guard for his first three seasons at Syracuse but slid to the off-ball position in his senior year where he led Syracuse in scoring, averaging a career-high 16.
