What will it take to beat Clemson?

[sutomcat]

PJ Hall and the big fat kid that looks like Carrothead (Ian S) are both banged up right now. Part of the reason they are struggling some.

Bell and Mintz went 10-31 in the dome. We’ll get smoked if that happens again.

Judah and JJ went for 30 points on 32 FGA.

Lot of trying to one on one. Don’t work.

Last vestiges of Judah’s NBA hopes in 2024 died that day.

To me, this is the UNC game in order to win specific to JJ.

9-15, 3-6 from 3, 23 pts. That’s what we need from him to beat good teams

He's actually been consistently solid offensively since about the middle of January. I think the productive JJ will show up tomorrow night.

last game being the exception, so I hope you're right

Yes, that wasn't a good game from him, but he's been a able to score at all three levels for most of the conference schedule, and now shoots with confidence.

Value the ball, defensive intensity all 60 minutes, get in transition, hit the open 3’s and compete on the boards. Don’t let Hall and Joe go off, play smart.

Man, I don't think I can take four overtimes.

Use Hima and Carey to get Brown to half with 2 or less fouls. Hammer Hall with Hima and Carey. Basically overplay him and foul him with purpose if needed. Play Q or Bell on Joe and make Joe have to handle the ball. Take the ball right at Hall. Basically don't let Hall beat us. He is 100% their key.

Good call out, still in NFL time I guess. All 40 minutes, 60 if needed…lol.

Both have been unavailable off and on for weeks. I don't think it's any guarantee either will be available vs Clemson

Hima and Carey will only see action in an emergency.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I’m worried Clemson is going to try and pound it inside. Brownell was not happy with too many threes taken against ND. They were 4-20.

We need to sacrifice a chicken in front of someone's locker with the smoking herbs and Jobu idol...

Or - we need somebody like JJ or Bell to go all

“FFF you Jobu - I do it myself!”

Q can have 3 fouls in ten seconds at the 10 min mark of the first half either.

Shhhh, need to keep this strategy a secret. Cannot let Hall know the Rizzler is coming for him.

Shame on you. Frodo is still alive. I can feel it.

I don’t see how we go man. Live by the zone, die by the zone.

Let JGIII go off but contain the inside.

 

[Niastri]

This. Does anyone here think he can stay in front of Mintz, Starling, or Cope? So almost every time down the floor there should be a mismatch there - go to it often, create off the dribble.

And foul out some of their bigs while we're at it. If the ACC officials call it close to fair, we should shoot a lot of free throws.

We will get killed on the glass if we go zone in this one me thinks.

Have we not learned anything from JB’s mistakes?

I know. That’s why this is so tough. I’m concerned with our post defense and fouls.
