Injuries have plagued both programs so far this season and look to factor into Saturday’s contest as well. With Brownell mentioning that if Reed was indeed cleared to play it would be minimized as far as how many minutes and situations.

 

Brownell also mentioned how the improved play of Eli Thomas and that consistency has brought more dynamic continuity to the team.  And as the season evolves he and Thomas hits his stride it can only trickle down to his team mates. 

 

The game will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and as well on the Clemson Sports Networks (Radio).  Tipoff is set for 2PM .  Stay tuned here to CSN for all your Clemson Basketball News.
