Clemson University’s men’s basketball team has begun a ten‑day excursion across Italy, a journey that will take them from the historic streets of Rome to the Renaissance charm of Florence and the alpine lakeside of Como.
The itinerary includes three exhibition matchups that are being streamed live on 105.5 The Roar, the university’s flagship radio outlet, while Coach Brad Brownell will lend his voice to the commentary, offering listeners a front‑row experience from the sidelines.
Only nine scholarship players are currently available for the trip, as several teammates remain sidelined by injury, forcing the staff to rely on depth and versatility.
Tour Highlights
This marks the fourth time in Brownell’s tenure that the Tigers have ventured abroad, following earlier tours of Italy, Spain and France, a pattern that reflects the program’s growing global footprint.
The NCAA’s recent rule change now permits teams to schedule a single international trip each year, a development that has opened the door for more frequent overseas exposure and new competitive challenges.
Fans back home can follow the action on social media, where updates from each city are being posted in real time, while the limited roster adds an underdog narrative to the upcoming contests.
