We were ranked #2 at one point in 1996-97

That was a great game... I remember going to all those games at Littlejohn. We had great teams with a lot of fight, but Tim Duncan was just too much for anybody.

The team was so stacked, but I remember Tom Wideman being the key to every game. If he scored, we won. I also remember rooting for Harder's kid (the team doc) and Jurkunas (misspelled) to have great games.

We lost a tough one to Bobby Jackson and Sam Jacobson (minnesota) in double OT in the sweet 16.

Was in grad school at GT and remember watching it at some pizza place in Brookhaven with a classmate who went to Wake undergrad. #### I’m getting old

I'll never forget the big win over Kentucky in 1996

#20 Clemson 79
#3 Kentucky 71 -- OT

I wish I could at least find a clip of #### Vitale near the end. He said something along the lines of it's cold outside you better warm up the bus baby cause this one's over.

Clemson was #12 in the AP poll on January 11, 2021
