2016 was certainly an eventful year for Clemson University athletics. It started with the concluding football game for the 2015 football season, which ended in heartbreak. The College Football Playoff Championship saw the Tigers fall short to the juggernaut that is the Alabama Crimson Tide, despite a valiant effort from talismanic quarterback Deshaun Watson and his teammates. This would prove not to be a downer, however, and the football team as well as the rest of the Clemson athletic program went on to prove that 2016 would be a great year.
The 2015-16 Tiger Men’s Basketball team had an up and down season, however it was marked by some marquee wins for the program.
