Frazier and powered in for another basket. Moments later, he nailed a three and the Tigers were ahead 60-50.

He said the offense failed to make plays when it counted and his defense was nowhere near tough enough to win a game like this on the road. We set the game back with our lack of poise, Fox said.FIRST GAME JITTERSBrownell, Clemsons seventh-year coach, acknowledged a bit of anxiety over wanting to win the first game in his redone arena. He and others in the athletic department had spent significant time the past few years pushing for the renovations and knew it would be difficult to explain a first-game loss before a packed crowd of 9,000.
