  • Hardwood History

      Up until the 1979-1980 season, Clemson basketball had never reached the NCAA Tournament.  Billy Williams and Larry Nance aimed to change that.   The Tigers went 19-8 during the regular season knocking off 4 top 25 teams including then #1 ranked Duke.

      That was good enough for Clemson to make their first NCAA Tournament appearance as the #6 seed in the West Region.  After a close hard-fought win over #11 seed Utah in the first round, the Tigers took on Danny Ainge and #3 seed BYU.  A 71-66 win but Clemson in the Sweet 16 where they beat another Cinderella team, Lamar.

      "All of a sudden here we are playing for the right to go to the Final Four.  I remember how everyone was just kind of going along taking things one at a time, and people really didn't think about what a terrific accomplishment this was for a program in its first year of making the tournament." -Tim Bourret, Former Clemson SID

      The Tigers magical run would end in a loss to UCLA finishing their season 23-9.

Clemson 1979-80 Shorts

First off, love the fit of the shorts. They are the perfect size. However, the color is historically incorrect. If you’re looking for authentic shorts from this era, the shorts worn by this team were blue, not purple. Also, shipping does take a long time, so prepare for that when you order.

I love the color-blocking on this pair, and, as usual, the quality and fit are great.
