The Clemson University men's basketball team is set to leave South Carolina for a ten‑day excursion across Italy, where the Tigers will stage three exhibition matches in as many historic cities.
A Ten‑Day Italian Adventure
Their itinerary takes them first to Rome, then to Florence, and finally to the lakeside town of Como, each stop offering a distinct cultural backdrop and a chance to test new tactics against local clubs.
Head Coach Brad Brownell, now in his seventeenth season at the helm, will guide a squad that has posted a 98‑win stretch over the past four years, a testament to his steady program building.
This tour marks the fourth overseas trip under Brownell’s direction, and it arrives as the roster blends seven returning veterans with a fresh infusion of three freshmen and four transfers, including guard Will Qualkinbush.
The Tigers are scheduled to depart on July 27 and will return on August 6, a timeline that allows the team to integrate the newcomers while maintaining competitive sharpness.
All three games — against BC Silute in Rome, Pro Camp in Florence, and Orange Bassano in Como — will be streamed live on WCCP 105.5 The Roar and via the Clemson Tigers mobile app, with post‑game analysis and highlights slated for ClemsonTigers.com and various social platforms.
