Alex Hemenway (Newburgh, Ind./Castle) scored 11 of his career-high-tying 17 points in the second half to help lead Clemson past Miami (Ohio) 89-76 on Tuesday night in Littlejohn Coliseum.

Clemson head coach Brad Brownell, Hunter Tyson, and transfer forward Naz Bohannon were in Charlotte for the ACC Basketball Tipoff Media Day to preview the upcoming basketball season. With so many changes to the roster, can the Tigers return to the Big Dance in 2022?

Last season, Clemson had several big wins and ultimately teased fans. This season, an appearance in March Madness may be imminent but what's in store for the program moving forward.

Clemson plays six of its opening seven games in 2020 against Power Five opponents. After Wednesday's victory over Maryland, there's little reason to believe more success won't be heading the Tigers' way.

The Clemson basketball team had their moments in a disappointing 2019 season and have reason to believe that 2020 could be better. There is talent, experience and scoring returning and a recruiting class that includes Canadian standout Olivier-Maxence Prosper, a candidate for early playing time.
