The Clemson Baseball Team wrapped up the regular season and ACC Tournament with 45 wins and as a regional host, earning the national #10 seed in what has been a terrific season on the diamond. The boys of summer finished the season strong, winning 19 out of their last 22 games, but were unable to get past FSU in the tourney. Heading into regional play it will be interesting to see how this team stacks up against quality competition in what is a near mirror image of last year’s regional. We touch on the highlights over the past couple of weeks, including the supernatural play of Logan Davidson, and preview the Clemson Regional.

Not to be outdone, Christmas came early this year for Clemson Men’s Basketball coach Brad Brownell and the team as starting guards Marquise Reed and Shelton Mitchell announced that they’ll be returning for their final season. This is huge news for a program that took a big step forward last year in advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time this century and with 3 of 5 starters returning next year, combined with the younger talent and grad transfers, expectations for the 2018-19 season are high. We kick off this ep by briefly discussing what this means for the team and future of the program.

Enjoy and Go Tigers!

The guys discuss the new additions to the Clemson Basketball team and check in on the boys of summer.

Recruiting and Spring Headlines with Quacking Tiger by Clemson Pawcast

Not only did Clemson’s spring football game bring about a QB controversy of sorts it also brought out the stars as the Tigers inked 6 new 2019 recruits in the past week, bringing their total to 10. In what will possibly be the largest class of the Dabo era the coaching staff has begun to bear down on what should prove to be an exciting summer on the recruiting trail. In this ep we take a look at the newcomers and discuss Clemson’s needs for the recruiting cycle.

On the diamond the baseball team showed up in Winston-Salem struggling as of late but managed to pull off a three game sweep of the Demon Deacons. The bats came alive over the weekend and the Tigers will look to keep that up in their march towards hosting a regional over the last 16 games of the regular season.

Nick and Cody break down the Spring Game, gush over Trevor Lawrence, and consider Spring practice implications on the Fall depth chart.

The Clemson Men’s Basketball Team ended an incredible season and run in the NCAA Tournament with a close loss to 1-seed Kansas in the Sweet 16 in a game that saw the Tigers down by double digits for most of the action, only to pull within in 4 late and ultimately losing by that margin. It was a season of exceeding expectations for Brad Browned and his team as we now go into the offseason with a level of excitement leading into next season that this program has not experienced in some time.

On the diamond, the Tiger baseball team rebounded after getting swept by N.C. State at home, going 7-2 over their last nine games as the bats start to show signs of coming alive again. There’s a lot of baseball yet to be played but still some holes to fill for Monte Lee’s team as they make a push towards the post season and vie for a Super Regional Bid.

We cover it all in this ep and will look to transition back to football talk in the coming weeks now that basketball season is over and the spring game approaches. Enjoy the show!

How sweet it is, how sweet it is!!! The Clemson Tigers Men’s Basketball Team is dancing well into March after two dominating performances against New Mexico State and Auburn in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and is now on their way to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in more than two decades. Clemson's three-headed monster guard trio of Gabe Devoe, Shelton Mitchell and Marquise Reed have been an unstoppable force early on as they’ve combined to average 54 points per game through the first two contests with Elijah Thomas dominating down low. The Tigers now turn their attention towards a talented but flawed Kansas Jayhawks team that was tested by 16-seed Penn and escaped 8-seed Seton Hall with a narrow victory. However, this experienced squad and storied program should pose the greatest challenge the Tigers have faced all year but, as we’ve seen so far, no team is safe in this tournament. Virginia says hello.

In this ep we look back on the tourney run thus far and preview the Jayhawks as Clemson looks to extend their dance for a couple more weeks. We also touch on a Tiger Baseball team that is scuffling after a series sweep by NC State in Doug Kingsmore over the weekend and discuss what it may take to right the ship in Tigertown. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!

The Clemson Men’s Basketball Team is breaking out their dancing shoes for the first time since 2011 as Brad Brownell and the boys cap off a fantastic season with a 5 seed in the NCAA tourney. After battling Virginia to within 6 points in the ACC Tourney the Tigers face another defensive minded team in the Aggies of New Mexico State. Clemson looks for its first non-play in game win in the tournament since 1997, when they advanced to the Sweet 16, and to put an end to a drought that has persisted since the Rick Barnes era.

On the diamond, Clemson baseball continues its hot start, improving to 15-1 and 3-0 in the ACC after a weekend series sweep against Georgia Tech. The pitching has remained dominant and the bats are starting to heat up in what could be Monte Lee’s best team yet.

We’re back with an update on both sports in what is turning into a very exciting Spring for Clemson athletics. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers.
