Sarah Sheridan / staff The Tigers got back on track in ACC play, but dropped a midweek game to the Bulldogs. You just can’t count ‘em out. Sitting down 4-0 to Pitt last Friday night, it was easy to want to think negatively. But, that if you’ve paid attention to the the 2024 Tiger baseball team, you know that Clemson had the Panthers right where they wanted them. Clemson clawed their way back to take game 1 6-4. I’ve seen the frustrations, and I get it. This type of play doesn’t feel sustainable for the postseason. Giving up crooked numbers early and then climbing your way back in doesn’t seem ..read more

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY Sports Everyone (including myself) had to wait a little later tonight to see the Clemson Tigers once again have a former player selected in the 1st round. Tonight, Nate Wiggins joins the few in the proud fraternity of Clemson Football players selected in Round 1. His new home? He’s making his way up to Ozzie Newsome’s Club, The Baltimore Ravens. Wiggins concludes his career with the Tigers making 27 appearances across his 3 years. He was able to amass 60 total tackles, 49 unassisted and 3 for loss. He finished his career with 3 career Int’s and 2 forced fumbles. Wiggins w ..read more

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The Tigers have only won NCAA tournament games in consecutive years once in school history (1989 and 1990). With the roster they’re building, they will have a chance to do it next season. Clemson lost their leading scorer and star player PJ Hall (he has a COVID waiver but seems likely to depart) and his seldom used back-up Bas Leyte to graduation. Beloved one-and-done transfer Joe Girard has also exhausted his eligibility and departs after making 105 3-pointers (.413 3P%) in his year at Clemson. Additionally, three Clemson players have entered the portal. Jack Clar ..read more

ALEX HICKS JR./STAFF / USA TODAY NETWORK After dropping two of three to NC State, Clemson picked up a midweek win against Charlotte. Now, Pitt comes to town. Anytime a Tiger team loses to NC State, it’s irritating. Last Friday and Saturday played along with that theme, yet the irritation of the losses came in two wildly different ways. Friday night, Clemson put 8 runs across the plate in Doug Kingsmore Stadium. However, pitching woes and errors allowed NC State to score 10. And after a hot start from Clemson against starter Sam Highfill, reliever Shane Van Dam and the rest of the Pack Pen were ..read more

MCKENZIE LANGE/ Staff / USA TODAY NETWORK The #2 Tigers now focus on conference rival NC State. Game 1: Clemson 7 Notre Dame 3 Another day, another Tiger comeback. Notre Dame held a 3-0 lead going into the 6th before Clemson finally scratched across a run when Will Taylor scored Alden Mathes on an RBI single. Two innings later, Taylor struck again with a two run homer that was a part of a 5 run inning for Clemson and put the good guys ahead 5-3. Jimmy Obertop’s two run blast in the ninth gave Clemson some insurance runs, not that the Tigers needed them as closer Austin Gordon sat down three st ..read more

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY Sports Time to give out the Rendrick Taylor award! Greetings folks! This is mainly to throw out some comment fodder following the annual Orange vs. White Spring Game that took place Saturday, April 6. These events only give slight ideas into what we might expect in the fall. The staff knows this is out there on TV and for all the world to see, and the fans need to always remember that they often control what they really want folks to see and know as a result. Adding the element of essentially one finger touch to down a QB also skews this away from something you can fully ..read more

ALEX HICKS JR./STAFF / USA TODAY NETWORK Clemson now is the #2 team in the nation in multiple baseball polls. Game 1: Miami 3 Clemson 2 If there was ever a night for Clemson to suffer a heart breaking loss, Thursday night was as good as any given that the bulk of Clemson nation had their focus on the Tiger men’s basketball squad defeating Arizona in the sweet 16. With Tristan Smith out, Matthew Marchal got the nod for game 1, and did a nice job keeping the Canes at bay, allowing 1 run on 6 hits through 4.0 innings pitched. Lucas Mahlstedt followed him with 4.0 innings allowing just 2 hits. The ..read more

Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images One of the best seasons in program history will change how Coach Brownell is viewed by rational actors. Clemson’s season ended at the hands of Alabama’s Mark Sears making six consecutive 3-pointers. While it was a disappointing ending, it was nevertheless a historically successful Clemson basketball season. We entered the year feeling beyond frustrated with Coach Brownell and the basketball program at large due to the horrible way the 2022-23 season ended. They’d reached 18-4 (10-1) before finishing 5-7 including missing the NCAA tournament and losing at h ..read more

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Magical run comes to an end tonight in the City of Angels. Clemson falls in the Elite 8 to Alabama by a score of 89-82. It was disappointing but the Tigers fought to the bitter end. First off, Alabama definitely caught fire offensively from the last time these 2 teams met in Tuscaloosa. 16 made 3 pointers will do that. Mark Sears led all scoring with 23 and was essentially enough to do the job. There are a lot of oddities if you dissect the game. Clemson held serve and dictated pace for most of the first half, but went on an all too familiar scoring drought that ..read more

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Currently, it’s 12:05AM Eastern Standard time on Friday. I time stamp this so I can remember the time I got to say “The Clemson Tigers MEN’S BASKETBALL team is going to the ELITE 8.” It’s surreal. I still am having to calm down from what we witnessed in LA tonight. I time stamp this as well to say that the buzzer has sounded and the 4-seed Alabama Crimson Tide have upset 1-seed North Carolina, 89-87. I’m not going to lie, as a fan I wanted UNC just for the poetic justice that it would be coming from a potential win, but it will be just as fun to see the two teams who ..read more
