In a stunning upset during March Madness, the 12th-seeded McNeese Cowboys defeated No. 5 seed Clemson with a score of 69-67. McNeese’s impressive defense in the first half held Clemson to just 13 points. Brandon Murray led the Cowboys with 21 points, while the team’s manager and coach Will Wade drew attention for their unconventional approach. Despite a late rally from Clemson, which almost erased a 24-point deficit, McNeese secured its place in the second round against Purdue, marking a significant milestone for the program.
"McNeese's historic victory over Clemson marks its first win in the NCAA Tournament, showcasing a strong defensive strategy and impressive first-half performance that set the tone for the game."
"Coach Will Wade has skillfully turned the program around, leading McNeese to back-to-back tournament appearances after a year off and managing to secure this significant upset."
