After last season ended abruptly just before tip-off in their second game of the ACC Tournament, Clemson returns to the hardwood as it faces off with Mississippi State in the Space Coast Challenge on Wednesday in Melbourne, Fla.
The Tigers return key pieces from last year’s team and added a top-20 recruiting class. Head coach Brad Brownell previewed the matchup with the Bulldogs on a media teleconference Monday.
The Clemson coach feels confident about his personnel and is ready to get back to action and play against somebody other than themselves.
“We have had thirty plus practices, which is a lot before you play somebody else,” Brownell said.
