As all of the football excitement wraps up until it starts again next season, and basketball season soon to be coming to an end, the spring brings a whole new array of events in the sporting world.
Clemson Baseball is finally underway with its opening weekend happening this past weekend. The team started its season off with a three game home stand against William and Mary. After a big opening day win on Friday, the Tigers were disappointing on Saturday when they were handed a big loss. Luckily they came back Sunday with a late rally in order to take their opening series of the year.
Clemson Basketball has had back to back home games where the the ball just can't seem to bounce our way. Starting last Sunday, they lost at the buzzer to NC State after leading the whole game. Then this Sunday, the number 3 team in the country, Miami, came into town. It was a low scoring affair that Clemson seemed to have control of once again for just about the whole game. Miami made a run at the end to take the lead leaving Clemson with a last second shot that we just could not seem to find a way to get it in the basket. Luckily they picked up a win mid week at Georgia Tech to avoid losing three games in a row.
Onto professional sports, the NBA had its All-Star weekend this weekend. This weekend provides many different events (rising stars game, celebrity game, skills challenge, 3 point contest, dunk contest, and finally the actual All-Star game, not to mention all the musical performances that take place along with it). Many people were not impressed with the musical choices that performed throughout the weekend, but then again you can never impress everyone. The West beat the East to win the All-Star game, and Chris Paul took the MVP honors. Now that the NBA's short break is over, they will begin playing again this week.
Ultimately, it is hard to back up the weekend after the Super Bowl, but the sports world is continuously giving us something to watch and talk about.
