Social Media Reacts: Girard and the Tigers Handle Business Against Syracuse
Brad Brownell and the Clemson men’s basketball team came off one of the program’s best wins against former No. 3 North Carolina with a 77-68 win over Syracuse.
Joe Girard played a phenomenal game against his former team, scoring 18 points, shooting 5-6 from the field, and hitting 4-4 free throws. The fifth-year senior shot 4-5 from the free-throw line. He looked excellent against the Orange and also scored his 2,000th career point.
There were some very well-rounded performances from the Tigers, with PJ Hall adding 15 points and 10 rebounds and Chase Hunter’s 14 points and 7 assists. Clemson’s stars came up big in this one.
Here is a look at how social media reacted to Clemson’s nice win over Syracuse.

Clemson won comfortably on the road with a whopping 30.9% turnover rate. That’s how unbelievably good it was at everything else.
Another nice road win for the Tigers today at Syracuse.

How do you win at Syracuse while racking up 21 turnovers? Pretty simple: You shoot 60.8 percent (to 39.1 for Orange) and own a 41-24 rebounding advantage. Two huge road wins for Clemson this week. Best four players (Hall, Schieffelin, Girard, Hunter) are playing really well.

Girard is playing for Clemson. Syracuse is playing man to man and Clemson is playing zone. What alternate universe is this?

That game looked like a mirror image of Tuesday night's in Chapel Hill. Clemson jumped out to a big lead, gave up a run to tie at almost the exact same point in the game, and then slammed the door. What a week. Great dubs. Very happy.
