It was the guards early. The bigs got involved later. 

That balance helped Clemson’s men’s basketball team get back in the win column Tuesday.

Chase Hunter led the way with 20 points while Alex Hemenway added a career-high 18, helping the Tigers bounce back from their loss to rival South Carolina late last week with an 81-70 win over USC Upstate at Littlejohn Coliseum. Four players finished in double figures for the Tigers, who shot 56.4% from the floor.

Brevin Galloway made 4 of 6 shots from the field to chip in 15 points, the most in a Clemson uniform so far for the Boston College transfer. In his second game back from offseason knee surgery, PJ Hall again came off the bench and finished with 13 points and two rebounds in 21 minutes after leading the Tigers with 15 points against the Gamecocks.

Meanwhile, Hall’s frontcourt mate, Hunter Tyson, scored all of his eight points in the second half of a game Clemson led by as many as 19. It was Clemson’s backcourt, though, that was humming early.

The Tigers’ 41 points by halftime were the most they’ve scored in a half this season thanks in large part to Hunter, Hemenway and Galloway. They combined to score all but seven of those points. Hemenway made four of his first six shots en route to 10 first-half points while Hunter and Galloway each had 12 at the break.

The trio combined to shoot 11 of 17 from the field to help the Tigers make nearly 54% of their shots in the first 20 minutes. Clemson held Upstate to 41.7% shooting in the opening half and led by as many as 13 before halftime.

Upstate trimmed the deficit to a couple of possessions late in the half before Hunter sank a corner 3 just before the buzzer. Tyson started the second half with his first bucket of the night, igniting a quick 6-2 spurt for the Tigers that pushed their lead back to double digits at 47-34 with 17 minutes, 49 seconds left.

Jordan Gainey had a game-high 24 points for Upstate (1-2), which shot better than 52% from the field.

Clemson cruises past the Citadel 80-69 in season opener

Despite missing a key starter in center PJ Hall, the Tigers were still able to get the job done on Monday night with a more than convincing win over the Bulldogs.

Via Clemson Athletic Communications:

Clemson University men’s basketball cruised past The Citadel 80-69 on Monday night as four Tigers scored in double figures in the 2022-23 season opener.

The Tigers’ (1-0) offensive explosion was spearheaded by redshirt junior Chase Hunter (Atlanta, Ga./Westlake) and sophomore Ian Schieffelin (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). Hunter tied his career high in points with 23 while tallying a career-high in assists with seven. Hunter notched 13th career double-digit scoring effort.

Schieffelin ignited the Tiger offense off the bench by scoring his career high of 20 points off an efficient 9-of-13 from the floor while also snatching a career-best 14 rebounds – nine of which came on the offensive glass.

The Tigers shot 54.8 percent from the field in the first half and connected on five threes. Clemson’s offense was propelled by a 23-5 run to close the first half and went into the break up 45-31. Clemson held the high-flying offense of The Citadel to 44.0 percent shooting while forcing nine turnovers that turned into 12 points on the other end.

In the second half, graduate Hunter Tyson (Monroe, N.C./Piedmont) led the way for The Tigers, scoring 13 of his 19 points in the final 20 minutes. The Tigers kept The Citadel at bay as the Bulldogs were held to 42.9 percent shooting in the second half.

Clemson will travel to Columbia, S.C. to play in-state rival South Carolina on Friday at 7 pm. The game will be aired on SECN+.

Alex Hemenway talks improvements, changes and expectations for this season

Clemson senior guard Alex Hemenway sat down with the press on Tuesday ahead of the team’s first game of the season against The Citadel that is just a little over a week away.

Following a tough overtime loss to Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament to end the 2021-22 season, the Tigers have spent the offseason preparing and trying to improve in all aspects of the game. More specifically,  Hemenway says he has been trying to improve his game “everywhere.” 

“Just kind of being more than a shooter, that’s really what we’ve hit on most every offseason,” Hemenway said. “Just making sure when I put the ball on the ground I am able to make plays for other guys, just making sure the handle is tight…of course keeping the shooting fine-tuned but just getting stronger and really just making the whole game intertwined into one.”

In the offseason the Tigers welcomed a number of new players to the team, including graduate transfer Brevin Galloway. With many new and old faces, the team was able to connect and grow more during its trip to France this past August. 

Galloway spoke on the adversity the team faced in the final game in Nice, France, and how it handled an extremely hostile environment.

“Our last game we were in a very heated battle and adversity was presented to us, and the way we responded was crazy,” Galloway said on Tuesday, “and I was impressed with how well the guys did, especially the younger guys being in that environment. I think going forward, that anytime we’re in a hostile environment we’ll be able to survive… because we’re a brotherhood and we’re a family.”

Hemenway agreed.

“That last game solidified how our team is a team,” Hemenway said. “I can tell with the guys that we have this year, it is going to be a great team, and a lot of us play for each other and one another. That was one of the big things that I took away from France.”

During Clemson’s time in France, the team also had the opportunity to visit the D-Day invasion of 1944 that occurred during World War II. 

“It was very impactful,” he said. “Just being able to experience that in person is a whole other experience in itself. You can see pictures and all that kind of stuff, but once you really get to that spot and realize all the sacrifices that all of those people made at our age and even younger, it’s just a really impactful experience.”

With the season on the horizon, the men’s and women’s basketball teams are holding Rock the John this Thursday in Littlejohn Coliseum starting at 7:30 p.m. 

The men’s basketball team is set to face The Citadel at home on Nov. 7 for its first game of the season. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

Galloway ‘ready to show the world’ what he can do

Clemson basketball is quickly approaching as the start of the season is just roughly about a week away. Plenty of familiar faces return, and some new faces appear.

A new face on the team, but sixth-year vet of playing college basketball, Brevin Galloway joins the Tigers this year. Galloway will add experience to the team, but also be able to provide quality depth at the guard position.

During Clemson’s preseason basketball interviews, Galloway, most recently a member of the Boston College Eagles, was asked how it feels to now be a part of a team that last year he was trying to beat.

Galloway stated, “It’s a humbling experience… I’m excited to be a Tiger… It’s a little different walking into the facility every day seeing (Alex) Hemenway. Obviously I was preparing for him last year, and now he’s on my team. I get to pass him the ball and he gets to knock down some shots, so I love it.”

On the difference between Boston College head coach Earl Grant and Clemson head coach Brad Brownell, Galloway said, “It’s a complete difference… one is hotwired and energetic. Coach Grant is more calm and easygoing, and it’s a big difference for me, but at the same time I kind of needed it… Coach Brownell has definitely been on me a lot more, which I kind of needed for my last year just because I get comfortable, and he won’t let me do that.”

Saying he feels the best he’s felt in his whole career, Galloway is “ready to show the world” what he can do.

He’s underneath his goal weight of 210 pounds and has really been focusing on his body and conditioning in the offseason. Being most known as a “3-point shooter” his whole career, Galloway knows he is made to showcase more than just that. He thinks that “with the team we have this year and the guys that we have, I’ll be able to show I can do everything, so I’m really excited to get out there and show my whole skill.”

Looking forward to the season, the Clemson men’s and women’s basketball teams are holding Rock the John this Thursday in Littlejohn Coliseum to tip off the 2022-2023 year ahead.

Brownell gives early assessment of Clemson’s retooled roster

Clemson’s men’s basketball still has one last scholarship available for next season’s roster, though there’s no guarantee at this point the Tigers are going to use it.

In other words, Brad Brownell largely knows what he has to work with from a personnel standpoint. He is entering his 13th season in charge of Clemson’s program with a roster that features its share of turnover as the Tigers try to get back to the NCAA Tournament after a 10th-place finish in the ACC this past season.

Clemson is welcoming five signees to campus this summer, three of which are guards that will be part of a revamped backcourt after the Tigers lost David Collins (eligibility exhausted), Nick Honor (transfer) and Al-Amir Dawes (transfer) off last season’s team. The group is headlined by Boston College transfer Brevin Galloway and combo guard Dillon Hunter, the brother of current Tiger Chase Hunter.

There are also seven holdovers from last year’s squad, most notably the starting frontcourt tandem of Hunter Tyson and leading scorer PJ Hall. With the roster getting a head start in preparation for next season with an international trip to France looming in August, Brownell recently gave The Clemson Insider an early assessment of the group’s similarities and differences compared to last year’s team.

“It’ll be interesting to see what our team is like next year,” Brownell said. “I think we’ll still play through PJ a good bit because he’s one of the better players in the league.”

As a sophomore, Hall averaged 15.5 points and 5.8 rebounds as one of the ACC’s most improved players. He did it while playing through a fractured left foot that has since been surgically repaired.

Regardless of who’s handling the ball in the backcourt, Brownell said the Tigers will continue to make sure the 6-foot-10, 240-pound is involved on the interior, something Brownell didn’t feel like they did well enough in the early going last season. Hall averaged just 3.5 points in 9.8 minutes per game as a true freshman.

“That was one of the challenges of last year’s team was I think he emerged as a high-profile player and really our most talented, best player earlier than everyone anticipated, even myself,” Brownell said. “I thought it’d take him until the middle of December or Christmas to really become (that kind of player), but it didn’t. He was ready to go in November, and I think it was challenging for some other guys on our team to understand that here’s a guy that didn’t play much as a freshman, but he’s really our most talented player and we’ve got to do some things within the way we play to make sure he’s our No. 1 option.”

With Galloway, true freshman Chauncey Gibson and the Hunter brothers part of a backcourt that includes Alex Hemenway and redshirt freshman Josh Beadle, Brownell said Clemson will “still look to shoot the 3, try to share the basketball and play the right way.” As for how he expects next year’s team to differentiate, Brownell said having and keeping a clean bill of health will go a long way in determining that.

“We couldn’t do some things defensively that maybe we like to do because of PJ’s injury,” Brownell said. “He just wasn’t as mobile. … If he gets healthy, we can play a little bit different defensively if we want to.”

Brownell threw Tyson into that equation, too. Clemson’s fifth-year senior decided to return for one more season with the Tigers after missing eight ACC games with a broken collarbone this past season. Tyson still finished as Clemson’s fourth-leading scorer (10.0 points per game) and third-leading rebounder (5.5). 

“There was obviously a major dropoff when he wasn’t out there not only because of his points and rebounds but leadership and just his toughness. A captain,” Brownell said. “He’s a competitive guy that just brings a lot to our team, so having him back will be huge for us. I’m excited for him. He’s going to have a good year next year.”

Brownell: Former assistant ‘more than fine’ with hoops’ most recent addition

A coach recruiting a transfer initially coached by a former assistant could understandably make for an awkward situation. To hear Clemson men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell tell it, though, that wasn’t necessarily the case as he pursued the latest …

A coach recruiting a transfer initially coached by a former assistant could understandably make for an awkward situation.

To hear Clemson men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell tell it, though, that wasn’t necessarily the case as he pursued the latest addition to the Tigers’ roster for next season.

Brevin Galloway signed with Clemson last month after playing last season at Boston College, where he was coached by Earl Grant. Brownell and Grant spent five seasons together when Grant was an assistant on Clemson’s staff from 2010-14.

As for Galloway, he will be playing for his third different school after being granted a seventh year of eligibility by the NCAA. He spent the first six of those with Grant, who initially coached him for five years at Charleston before taking the Boston College job last year.

“Earl was more than fine with it,” Brownell said recently during Clemson’s Prowl & Growl tour, adding he had conversations with his former assistant during Galloway’s latest recruitment. “He’d already talked to Brevin. I think it was just one of those things that they’d been together long enough.”

The Eagles’ scholarship situation may have had something to do with it, too. Based on his understanding of the situation, Brownell said Boston College wasn’t anticipating Galloway, who missed most of the 2020-21 season because of an injury, receiving another year of eligibility. In an Instagram post on April 11, Galloway revealed he didn’t found out until the beginning of that month that he was getting the extra year and announced he was transferring.

Brownell called it a “very unique situation.”

“In some ways, (Boston College) probably didn’t save a scholarship for him,” Brownell said. “They were in the process of doing some recruiting, and then at some point, Brevin tells them, ‘Hey, I might be able to get a seventh year.’ And then they just decide whether that’s a good idea.”

Once Galloway entered the portal, Brownell said Galloway pursued Clemson just as much as the other way around. An Anderson native, Galloway played his prep basketball at Seneca High. His brother, Braden, just finished his fourth and final season on the Tigers’ football team.

“I think some of it is Brevin wants to come back and got to Clemson,” Brownell said. “He grew up in the area, and the opportunity to do something different and to play where he’s from and in his hometown area I think was pretty exciting for him.”

Galloway is the fifth and most recent member of the Tigers’ 2022-23 recruiting class. Brownell still has one scholarship available for next season’s roster.

Is Clemson basketball still active in the transfer portal?

Brad Brownell doesn’t feel like he has to fill the final available scholarship on his roster for the 2022-23 season. But Clemson’s men’s basketball coach is keeping his eyes and ears open just in case.

Like most teams, the Tigers have been active in the transfer portal. Guards Nick Honor (Missouri) and Al-Amir Dawes (Seton Hall) have moved on while Clemson has signed two replacements since, including Boston College transfer and South Carolina native Brevin Galloway. The Tigers also landed a signature from former Princeton guard Jaelin Llewellyn before he backed out of his scholarship last month following the departures of two assistant coaches and instead ended up at Michigan.

Throw in the other comings and goings – Clemson’s current signing class also includes four high school prospects – and the Tigers sit at 12 scholarship players for next season, one shy of the 13-scholarship limit. Brownell said Clemson is “definitely still contacting a few guys” in the portal, though the pickings are slimmer now that the May 1 deadline has passed for players to enter the portal and maintain immediate eligibility at their next school.

“We’re monitoring the situation,” Brownell told The Clemson Insider this week. “There’s less and less guys now because of the deadline, but we’ll kind of take it day by day and see what we’ve got.”

With three guards already signed – the same number Clemson lost off last year’s team – the Tigers have addressed many of their backcourt needs. Four-star signee Dillon Hunter and redshirt freshman Josh Beadle are set to take over at the point with Honor and Dawes no longer around.

But before Galloway inked with the Tigers earlier this month, Brownell said he felt like his team could use another wing. Clemson has missed out on some of its other portal targets at that position, including Wichita State transfer Dexter Dennis (Texas A&M).

Asked if that’s a role the 6-foot-2 Galloway will help fill or if he feels like that’s a position Clemson still needs to address, Brownell avoided specifics. But it’s possible Clemson is done adding to its roster unless the right fit comes along this late in the recruiting calendar.

“We’re still always looking for good players,” Brownell said. “We have a scholarship, and we’ll sign another good player if we feel like we find someone that fits what we’re looking for. I don’t think we have to sign anybody else.

“It’s got to be somebody we think can impact our team. More than likely, it would be an older player. But we’ll just have to wait and see.”

Filling final scholarship a complicated task for Clemson hoops

Clemson’s men’s basketball team could make one more addition to next season’s roster. There’s also a possibility the Tigers go with they’ve already got in the fold.

Between a handful of high school signees and the addition of Boston College transfer Brevin Galloway, Clemson coach Brad Brownell has already added five newcomers to the seven scholarship players that are returning from last season’s team. That leaves the Tigers one shy of the 13-scholarship limit for the 2022-23 season, one they may or may not use at this point of the recruiting calendar.

It’s not the most pressing concern for Brownell, who feels like he has addressed most if not all of the needs the Tigers had after losing three significant contributors in the backcourt, including Nick Honor (Missouri) and Al-Amir Dawes (Seton Hall) to the transfer portal. Redshirt freshman Josh Beadle and four-star signee Dillon Hunter can each play the point while Galloway, a 6-foot-2 guard, could be the answer on the wing with David Collins having exhausted his eligibility.

“I think we’ll use (our last available scholarship) if we think it’s the right person and the right fit, so we’re still looking at it,” Brownell recently told The Clemson Insider.

With the majority of high school prospects having signed at this point, Clemson will almost certainly be relegated to the transfer portal if the Tigers use their final scholarship. With point guard taken care of and the frontcourt solidified with Hunter Tyson, PJ Hall, Ian Schieffelin and Ben Middlebrooks all returning, a wing with the size to defend multiple positions may be the last remaining need for the roster if the Tigers can find it in the portal this late.

They went after that type of profile in Wichita State transfer Dexter Dennis, who visited Clemson and Indiana before committing to Texas A&M last week. Clemson also recently lost out on Georgetown transfer guard Donald Carey, who chose Maryland.

Bringing on an immediate-impact transfer at this point, though, is a little more complicated for Clemson and the rest of college basketball. The May 1 deadline for basketball transfers to enter the portal and maintain immediate eligibility at their next school has passed, meaning any transfers that have put their name in the portal since then would have to sit out a year before being eligible again. That is, unless they receive a waiver from the NCAA, but with many programs wanting to finalize their rosters soon ahead of summer workouts, teams are going to be less likely to play the waiting game with those transfers.

Any players who entered the portal by May 1 and still haven’t made a decision on their next destination will still be immediately eligible provided they’re in good academic standing, though that pool of players is drying up. Many of the top-end transfers who know they’re walking into a situation where they will immediately be part of the rotation if not start are also off the board, making the search for a mutual interest between an available transfer and a potential new landing spot even more difficult.

“We didn’t use all 13 last year, and part of it last year is because it’s becoming more difficult to manage it all,” Brownell said. “That part has become much more challenging, and I think that’s going to be a byproduct because you’re going to see coaches not use all 13 sometimes because nobody is happy kind of being an understudy, learning your craft and earning your time. It’ll be interesting to see what our team will be like next year.”

Clemson needs an answer even sooner considering the Tigers have a trip overseas awaiting them later this summer. Clemson will travel to France for an international tour in early August but will be allowed 10 practices before then, presumably a time for which the Tigers would want their full roster together.

“We can practice a little bit more, play some games over there and just kind of begin to put the pieces together for this year’s team,” Brownell said.

Foreign tour a chance for Clemson hoops to ‘begin to put the pieces together’

Clemson’s men’s basketball team won’t have to wait until the fall to start playing games again.

Head coach Brad Brownell confirmed to The Clemson Insider on Thursday that his team will take a preseason trip to France this summer. The Tigers’ international tour will take place Aug. 3-13, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.

Not since 2019 has Clemson traveled overseas, something the NCAA allows basketball teams to do once every four years. Brownell said those European trips, which have included Italy and Spain, have been productive for his teams in the past.

“We’ve done well every time we’ve gone overseas,” Brownell said. “Obviously the chance to go out and experience a little bit of a different culture and learn some other things beyond the United States is really good for our guys. It gives us a great chance to blend and get to know each other a little bit better and spend more time away from basketball, which is good.”

It will give the Tigers a head start on not only preparation for the 2022-23 season but also cohesion within a team that will have its share of new pieces. With four-star combo guard Dillon Hunter freshly in the mix, Clemson is making five new additions, including Boston College transfer Brevin Galloway, to a roster that includes notable holdovers Hunter Tyson and PJ Hall, the Tigers’ leading scorer a season ago.

The number of newcomers could increase by one should Clemson use its final available scholarship for next season’s roster, something the Tigers will do through the transfer portal if it happens. Clemson will get 10 days to practice before making the trip and then play numerous exhibition games against international competition during its 11 days overseas.

“We can practice a little bit more, play some games over there and just kind of begin to put the pieces together for this year’s team,” Brownell said. “So it should be good.”

Particularly for the incoming freshmen. Joining Hunter in the Tigers’ freshmen class are fellow guard Chauncey Gardner and forwards Chauncey Wiggins and R.J. Godfrey, all of whom signed with Clemson in November. It might not come against other Division I players, but Brownell said the overseas competition will help give the Tigers’ first-year players an idea of what to expect at the college level.

“Get acclimated to what life is going to be like,” Brownell said. “The games aren’t the same as the high-major games, but just to be able to play and get used to playing with each other and practicing I think is really important.”

Whether or not Hall will be available to play during the international tour is unknown. Brownell said he expects the Tigers’ sophomore big to be somewhat limited until at least mid-July after Hall recently underwent surgery to repair his fractured left foot.

Road to Clemson has been ‘really hard’ for Galloway, but Brownell’s happy he’s a Tiger

COLUMBIA, S.C. —It’s hard to find a better match than Brevin Galloway and Clemson.

Just ask Brad Brownell.

During Wednesday’s Prowl and Growl tour in the Midlands, Clemson’s men’s basketball coach made his first public comments regarding the Boston College transfer, whose signing became official earlier in the day.

“First of all, to get a kid who’s from our area, right there in Seneca, Anderson, to want to come to Clemson and play at Clemson, I think that’s something that’s always exciting,” Brownell said Wednesday. “The kid who’s gonna bring enthusiasm and energy.”

“He’s an experienced player,” Brownell continued. “He’s played in the ACC. He’s played a bunch of 100-plus college games. He can really shoot the ball. I’d think he’d play a couple of different guard positions. He’s just a guy that you can play with a lot of different people and he brings a ton of experience. So, it’s a great addition for us.”

Speaking of playing multiple guard positions, we followed up with Brownell and asked if he envisions Galloway as someone who can bring the ball up the court.

“Yeah at times,” he said. “Yeah, absolutely. I think he can certainly do that and if we need him to help handle the ball, take pressure off our guards; I just think his basketball IQ is very good and I think that’ll really help (our) poise.”

Galloway told The Clemson Insider last month that he “couldn’t turn down the chance” to play at Clemson. 

In his lone season at Boston College, he averaged 8.3 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting just 25.6 from 3-point range.  

Prior to his stint in Chestnut Hill, Galloway shot 36% from beyond the arc over four seasons at Charleston, where he was a three-year starter and averaged 15 points early in the 2020-21 season before an injury cut it short.

“It’s a unique situation,” Brownell said. “He played with (Boston College head coach) Earl (Grant) for six years off and on. It’s been really hard for Brevin. He got redshirted just as a kid coming out of high school — a little bit like we did with (redshirt freshman guard) Josh Beadle — just a guy that you want to mature a little bit, get a little bit bigger and stronger.

“Then, he had two major injuries that really sidelined his career a little bit, but bouncing back, I think he’s going to be as healthy as he’s ever been, which is exciting for us. I think it was just a situation where at this point in his career, the chance to come home was something that he was really excited about…it just seemed to work out and happy that he’s a Tiger.”
