Clemson / McNeese St
- Thread starter spoilerdave
- Start date
"Clemson, meet curb." (stomp)
Maybe They have the real team waiting in the locker room to come out at the half?
1-15 from beyond the arc and 10 turnovers - yikes. Gotta think Clemson comes out with some fire to try and work itself back in the game, but 31-13 at the half is a surprise for sure. Brownell likely pealing the paint off the locker room with some "suggestions" to his team.
McDonald's (lol) state looking great. Play to the rim.....Not exactly our strong point defensively
Outside of duke, i wasnt impressed with the acc all year. Louisville was a nice come back story but if you watched them play they are very average. Same for most of the upper half of the acc.
And they just lost what essentially should have been a home game.
The crazy thing about the ACC....or more to your point......is that both Louisville and Clemson went 18-2 in conference to finish a game out to Duke's 19-1 (loss @ Clemson). Georgia Tech beat both Louisville and Clemson.
The top three teams had only five losses in conference all season....that's Dolly Partonesque top heavy.
Unbalanced schedules play a little bit into it but not to that extent.
Clemson looks so slow and unathletic that I can't tell if they are making McNeese look out of this world or they are out of this world.
Dang - Tigers getting declawed and taken to the woodshed for pelts right now. The Cowboys going for a 12th straight victory. If Clemson is going to do anything down 22, better do it in a hurry.
If you think Clemson looks bad check out Georgia.
One of the assistants at least you would think
Switched to a little of this game - Gonzaga absolutely overwhelming the East-of-the-Mississppi Bulldogs......all over them 27-3. Winner gets Houston next.
McNeese State should be a good matchup. Might want to consider starting Heide at PF and bring Furst off the bench. They are athletic but not much height. Open up the inside for TKR to operate with their athletic ability more.
CMP probably goes with the same lineup as we will be the higher seed and make them adjust to us, but not how I would do it personally

10 points with 3 minutes to go, not over, but the fat lady is starting to warm her throat.
That last play was a big exchange - McNeese misses a three from the corner, but Copeland gets a big board and gets fouled. Clemson has whittled this down and forced a little bit of panic, but the Tigers may run out of time here.
I know Lappas is a NYer and many don't like his style, but he makes a lot of good insightful comments, IMO.
MC State doing their very best to give game away.
Missing foul shots.
Turning ball over on press.

I agree that he can break down what he sees fairly well. However, his comment with over 7 mins left predicting we wouldn't see TKR after he picked up foul #2 exposed the fact Lapas hadn't watched much PU game tape this week to prepare.
McNeese (12) v. Purdue (4) on Saturday. Clemson with a spirited comeback but comes up short 69-67 - woke up too late, and missed the bus.
Boilers will have their work cut out for them to advance to next weekend in Indianapolis.

McNeese looks like what folks said High Point was. Quick, athletic, constantly attacking but still only 69 pts so not like they blew Clemson out and Clemson looked pretty bad most of the game.
And another Cinderella everyone will want to put the shoe on. That's okay. I'm cool with beating Cinderella's until San Antonio.
The basketball gods certainly lined up a Sweet 16 path for us.
If you told any top 4 seed they would get to play two double digit seeds to get to the Sweet 16 they'd take it.
Still, can’t complain about playing a 12 seed in the second round, Purdue should win the game.
We need to play our most athletic, quickest team Saturday: Kaufman-Renn, Heidi, Colvin, Smith, Loyer or Cox or Harris.

I like us against McNeese. They don’t shoot it well from long range and we were kind of cold from 3 today so I look forward to a bounce back game Saturday.
