GREENVILLE – Uncle Mo’ is wearing orange.
The Clemson men’s basketball team made history Saturday afternoon at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena as they completed the trifecta of beating three consecutive ranked teams – No. 16 Louisville, No. 6 Duke and No. 8 Miami.
The secret to the Tigers’ success?
Momentum and confidence.
Clemson got off to a sluggish start in losing games to UMass, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia in the month of December, but gained new life as ACC play started. At North Carolina in late December was the last time the Tigers were on the losing end of a game, and they have reeled off five consecutive ACC wins, including Saturday’s 76-65 win over Miami.
