Following Clemson’s 69-59 win over Miami Saturday Clemson Head Coach Brad Brownell shared his thoughts about his team about his teams performance by saying just really active , aggressive. They have really good players Tre Donaldson is one of the better guards in our league. And I thought our pick and roll coverage was outstanding and part of it too was that our offense was good like we shot the ball well today. We did have a few turnovers but because they had a take the ball out of bounds more we were able to set our defense a little easier so that helped. So I do think that was part of it. Our guys were locked in they competed they faught over ball screens. I thought we had pretty good communication throughout and just played very connected on the defensive end.
