Clemson men’s basketball to play at South Carolina on Dec. 21
The 2016-17 Clemson men’s basketball non-conference schedule was announced Wednesday by head coach Brad Brownell and has the Tigers playing at South Carolina on Dec. 21.
The home schedule is highlighted by the Nov. 11 season opener against Georgia, which will also serve as the grand opening of the new Littlejohn Coliseum.
“It’s a challenging non-conference schedule, but one we’re looking forward to,” Brownell said. “We expect a tremendous environment when we open the season against Georgia on November 11 in the new Littlejohn.”
Clemson’s regular season tournament will be in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from Nov. 17-20. The Tigers will face Davidson in the opening round, and either Xavier or Missouri in the second round. The field also includes 2016 NCAA Tournament teams Northern Iowa and Oklahoma.
