        Following their 2020-21 season, Clemson University Men’s Basketball team got the renovation they needed to enhance their student-athlete experience.

        The new locker room features include customized Clemson emblems including the term “Grit” inspired by Coach Brownell, UV printed paw handles, LCD displays with cloud-based drivers, and an anti-microbial design.

        “This place is sweet man. It’s definitely a nice treat,” exclaims PJ Hall at the teams locker room reveal.
