Watching Miami and Clemson

I know they suck but they only had 1 point 8 minutes in. Scoring more now. Clemson loves these rock fights.
Miami isn’t great, but I don’t think Arkansas is all that bad.
Big boy has 1 foul lol. Rough as can be and 1 foul.
Arkansas is freaky athletic as Cal’s usual teams. Lack coaching and shooters. Fland got hot against Miami and won the game for them.
Yeah. I trust pope won’t always be a pure man to man guy but I did feel we should have clogged the lane e a 2-3 when Butler was sitting
Tubby Smith would have loved coaching this Clemson team.
Of course.
Clemson not even putting out half the effort they did against us. And all of those crazy shots they made aren't going in today. And how about the whistle going both ways today. All of the things that happen during our games, seem to disappear in our opponents next game.
I guess Clemson missed their payment to the refs. Not so great when you can't bully ball / luck your way to victory.
What I know from listening to anything about Pope's coaching is that IF: Big IF: we run into Clemson in NCAA tourney, his scouting guys will show difference in scoring for them against man to man and zone. I would think if numbers show correctly that Zone is the way to go, I bet Pope would get Fox to teach everything on zone. I would bet we would be switching defense all game to disrupt Clemson.
Agree, noticed the same thing, they are being called for everything they got away with Tuesday Night. lol
Clemson ain’t that good. They are decent defensively but they aren’t very good overall.
That little Neanderthal all American guy that torched us looks more like a second string playground guy today. Imagine that.
I hope our guys have put up a lot of shots. Gotta start hitting more 3’s
Clemson fans were whining about the officiating.
As a Kentucky and Clemson alumnus, I say F Clemson.

That little dude exposed how weak we are at guard when Butler is not on the floor and is battling foul trouble when he is on the floor.
That little **** had one move, just one, fake left and drive right. And we couldn't figure it out.
When you are being outrebounded by 10 playing m2m where you SHOULD be able to block out the man you are defending, it absolutely prevents any thought of going zone.
The opposing team would just keep rebounding their missed shots until they scored.
I’ll give Clemson a little bit of credit. We’ve seen the unranked team beat us at their place(court storm) then drop their next game a ton over the years.
They appear to be very inconsistent shooting the ball …
When people say X beat Y so they suck, it is just stupid!!! The best team does not always win. They probably only win about 2/3 of the time.
I don't think they actually lack shooters though. Fland, Davis (who is still recovering from a wrist injury), and Z will probably all shoot over 40% from 3. DJ will be mid-30s. That's more 40% shooters than we have and they are shooting just 0.3% worse than use from 3 this year.
MAYBE being on the road makes a difference also, just a thought. At home, they probably win by 20+. Some of you need to get it thru your head that playing on the road is tough. Are we going to do the Arkansas thing and critique every Clemson game now also ? I tend to worry about what UK is doing, I don't really GAF what other teams are doing.
Agree. But Wagner and Z had some big plays in the second half run also. Not like Fland carried them on his back. Z hit a big 3 before Fland scored to give them the lead. Davis had 11 of his 12 in the 2nd half. Wagner was huge in the run in the 2nd half at both ends.
Them being unranked was an overreaction to Boise state. They are a 1 loss team that every computer rank in has in the top 25.
Conference games on the road are tough to win (as we know all too well). To go win by 10 at a Miami team (that’s underachieving but still can be tough) that has an ACC 1st team guy at guard, is a good follow up to them beating us. I predict Clemson finishes 2nd in the ACC
