Clemson 68 Duke 63

[jncuse]

Road games ain't easy.

 

[jncuse]

Sorry - should have noted there was still 2 minutes to go.

It is now 62-59

 

[jncuse]

66-63 with 13 seconds to go.

Go Clemson.

 

[longislandcuse]

Apparently our schedule to start ACC play was insane.

 

[cuseattle]

Clemson 4-1 now.

 

[Shark58]

still a bad loss

 

[cuseguy]

It's a bad loss because we were up 3, chance to go up 4, with 18 seconds left.

SU should be 14-4 now.

hmmm does this say more about Duke or Clemson?

Duke isn't dominant. Wish we had them at home.

Clemson is better than many think.

68-63 Clemson. Final. I'll be darned. They have a decent team ... hellashious defense, pretty good from outside and a quality big inside. I hope they're enjoying some temporary success against the big boys. Next year's not going to be as fun for them.

 

[jncuse]

And with all this home underdog success this past 7 days, and in certain rivalry games, I figured Ok St +8 vs Oklahoma might not be a bad play.

Oklahoma up 16 on the road in the first half. This is a good team.

It says college basketball is insanely open this year which makes it more annoying that we are having a down year and (likely) won't make the tournament.

With how the ACC has been this year, it's way too early to say that; we will pick up some good wins the rest of the way. @Miami and @Pitt were 2 really games that we arguably should have won (maybe not Miami). Those 2 teams might be 2 of the top 4 teams in the ACC right now with UNC and I guess Duke or Ville?

I agree with this. I think Duke isn't quite as good as many thought. Still very good.

We've got 3 transfers coming in who should contribute fro the get go. If we can keep Blossomgame from leaving (which I don't think he will), we'll be a pretty good team (for our standards).

What other games should we have won?

 

[Cusefan0307]

What other games should we have won?

Wisconsin and Clemson were the two games I can think of that we blew. At worst we should be 13-5

Yes, we absolutely blew them. I wish I could say the same about St. Johns.

No doubt. Obviously, we're going through a tough stretch. We had 2 unexpected defections to the NBA. The NCAA spanking we got cost us a 6'10 kid, then we lost another 6'9 kid to the clearinghouse. So we're really struggling inside on O/D .. and Noko had a big game against us. I thought Clemson's m2m D was suffocating ... and obviously they got a big W against Duke. So good luck the rest of the season, and I'm hoping we give you guys a much bigger challenge next year.

I'm still not sure how Cuse gets a ban from the NCAA yet UNC continues to skate free.

I fully expect Cuse to be a lot better next year. Good luck the rest of the way.

Stay tuned on UNC. They'll have a good year in BB but sooner or later, the other shoe's going to drop on the program. Too much fraud there, for far too long, for the NCAA to ignore and remain relevant.

I do hope you're right. I'm not sure what it will take though. They are some seriously corrupt b******s.
