MORE HEARTACHE FOR TIGERS; 18-POINT LEAD EVAPORATES & BAD CALL GIVES STATE THE GAME (UPDATED POST-GAME INTERVIEWS)

That sums up the season. The Tigers led by as many as 18 points, and after being down 4-3 did not surrender the lead again until 5:38 remained in the game. Once again, they had a one-point lead over State with 3 seconds left, and once again they lose by one. This time, though, rather than a buzzer-beater by Beverly to win the game, it was a horrendous call by the refs that gave State the game-winning free throws. There was at least a foot of air between the Clemson defender and the NC State shooter. What a frustrating season! The Tigers should have been 2-0 against State and easily in the NCAA field. Instead, they are 0-2 and will have to sweat it out. Let's just hope those 2 losses don't keep the Tigers from getting an NCAA bid! It will be a nervous Selection Sunday for the Tigers now. St. Mary's already stole a spot from someone on the bubble by upsetting Gonzaga in their conference championship game. I have a feeling the Tigers are going to be a No.1 seed in the NIT again and left to wonder what might have been this season.

TIGERS LOSE 59-58.

I'll have post-game locker room interviews and press conference with Brownell and Reed shortly.
