I hate Clemson but...

[SigChiChef]

They are poised for a deep run towards F4. Experienced and old, mostly white dudes, at least 3 super annoying players that are clutch maybe 5, disruptive & smart defense and joe Girard is a winner. Boeheims really hurt his potential. Played out of position with players just like him. Say what you want about JgIII he has that deep down desire to win, ultra competitive and silent infectious swag, a true leader by example. Allow him to grad transfer again back to cuse as our backup QB...jk

Eh I don't know. They can't guard people who can dribble. I like their personnel but I think they've underachieved.

 

[SigChiChef]

Don't disagree w/ anyone. I like their chances.

What odds do you give Clemson making the Final Four?

This had me thinking so I looked it up. +2800 or 3.4% chance. There could actually be a little value there for say $10. They would just need to get to E8 and you could hedge some profit

 

[cali315phan]

Idk I thought our defense was really good at times last night. They made a lot of really tough shots, we missed a lot of easy ones. Not sure they're all that great.

Everyone shoots well against us. We are a terrible defensive team.

They are not nearly good enough to make it to the final 4. Id be surprised if they make it to the second weekend. I dont think Hunter is that good, which limits them offensively against halfway competent teams, and their defense is appalling. If PJ has a bad game they go down quick.

I'll be pulling for Clemson in the tourney. I'll pretend their orange uniforms are representing Syracuse and JGIII plays for them. I don't expect a very deep run but I like watching them play.

Disclaimer - the annoying Clemson fans sitting next to the announcers mic last night very nearly changed this opinion.

A little value? Maybe more!

 

[two3zone]

A little value? Maybe more!

Did you?

 

[690West]

Did you?

Yes. Just $10 though. I’m a cheap gambler!!

Although I’m pretty sure I totally jinxed Clemson with my stupid post above!!

Refs are making it a game.

 

[grepal]

They are getting an absolute screw job. Baylor flops more than any team I have seen

 

[690West]

Brrrr. Love me some freezing cold takes

 

[OmahaCuse]

Thought Girard was not very good today, took 3 really bad threes and did not play a good floor game or defense. When he is on he is great, when off hard to watch those really bad threes. Still wish we had him.

What does that make the ACC

 

[690West]

[Day2]

What does that make the ACC

8-1.

 

[Janner]

Maybe the ACC wasn't as bad as everyone thought, seems this happens more often then not.

 

[CuseTG2003]

I find myself rooting for ACC teams. Makes us look better.

I don’t think anyone is saying, “hey the ACC is 8-1 so far in the tournament and just think how good Syracuse is because of it”

The Committee based on what I’ve seen didn’t have the top 64 teams in the tournament that’s my feeling

They never do. Auto qualifiers from smaller conferences aren’t usually in the top 64.
