The Tank's hopes of seeing the Orangmen in the NIT semifinals and finals next week at the Garden were dashed when they lost to Clemson, 74-70, last night in Clemson, South Carolina, on a game televised on ESPN.
The Orangemen got off to a slow start last night being down 40-27 at halftime. The Orangemen closed the gap in the second half to 69-68 with 19.8 seconds left but couldn't pull it off. Kind of indicative of a disappointing season.
The only solace I can draw is the last time the Orangemen made the NCAA in 2002, they won the NCAA Championship in 2003. Getting another Carmelo Anthony next season wouldn't hurt either. Go Orange!
