QUOTING COACH MURPHY
"We came out slow which is not like us. A good team like Clemson will sense that and take it to you. I thought we had serviceable efforts from chase, Jack and Tom off the bench which is a positive sign. We will spend the available time to prepare for a trip to Campbell this weekend."
