Clemson Tigers

Follow Team

Tough look for Clemson. Tigers were down 18 at halftime to a team that is now down 18 at halftime.

Purdue is 11-15 from the field, 5-7 from three. Slightly better against McNeese than, say, Clemson.

McNeese's explosive offense powered the Cowboys past (5) Clemson and into the second round 🔥 #MarchMadness

March Sadness for Clemson fans 😬 #MarchMadness

UPSET ALERT 🚨 (12) McNeese completes the upset against (5) Clemson 😤 #MarchMadness @McNeeseMBB

MCNEESE IS SECOND ROUND BOUND 🤠 The Cowboys upset (5) Clemson 69-67 to survive and advance 🙌 #MarchMadness

McNeese State 69, Clemson 67. Not as close as the score indicates. Wolfpack Will has at least one more game to coach with the Cowboys.

Clemson cuts the lead to 10 👀 #MarchMadness @ClemsonMBB

Signs of life from Clemson. Down to 13. Plenty of time!

In 1984, Kentucky had a 3-for-33 second half in the Final Four against Georgetown. Clemson is trying to have a whole game like that. Against a team from the Southland Conference.

Clemson's two leading scorers, Chase Hunter and Ian Schieffelein, combined for zero points in the first half.

McNeese 31, Clemson 13 at the half. Cannot recall a worse half from a team seeded seven spots higher than its opponent. But give McNeese credit -- they're incredibly active and athletic and have a great gameplan.

First half analysis: @EvanWashburn ’s hair looks great. Clemson does not. 🤮

It's 25-11 McNeese State with 3:16 left in the half. Clemson is 4-19 from the field, 1-11 from three, and has committed 10 turnovers.

Clemson is on pace to score 26 points

McNeese is jumping all over Clemson, up 18-8. Tigers are terrible on offense and having trouble the Cowboys' bouncy athletes.

Clemson was 12 of 57 from three in its previous three games, per the estimable @chapelfowler . So far today vs. McNeese: 0-6. Brutal offensive performance so far by the Tigers.

Copeland with a tough lay for the Cowboys, Aura King is loving it 😤 McNeese vs Clemson underway 🍿 #MarchMadness
