Big game tonight, between two desperate teams
Miami has some very tough bigs, if we are to do anything we need to be able to get the ball inside then back out for some good jump shots. Lets hope the team became prepared for a fight, and the need to win.

Giving up too many easy transition layups.
Defense is getting lazy. Freshman are in (Sapp, Hall) and they are not adding anything on either side of the court, and upperclassmen are taking bad passes and shots. You can not play like this. You can not play like this and expect to win at all. This team needs to find some level of manhood, and just play.

Made up 4 with a 3. If he cld just cut down on TOs. He sure is a hustler

Only TS and Andre Young hustle at all
If I was in their situation I’d be going insane watching Booker, Narcisse, Jennings lollygag down the court

BB's answer for this is to put Bobo in?
Serious? Does he have no faith in anything on this team? Bobo will not be able to bang bodies tonight, Miami is to big for us. This team needs more effort. Move the ball around, take good shots, and get back on defense. Don’t worry about the shot you put up or the next.

Huge problem for us is rushing shots

Very true
Something I noticed in the 1st half of the Duke game once we got up. Team thinks it can do anything, real life sets in and then confidence is gone.

After game BB said once crowd got into it, kids got excited, quit running offense, & started heaving up 3s. And it cost us

I do believe
BB will have success here, he just doesnt have the horses this yr. We’ll b fine after he gets couple his recruiting classes n there

I agree that once he starts having sucess similar to OP
He will be able to bring in some big named players and will have some sucess. But the cupboard is not bare right now. Its not as if there isn’t talent on this team. I am completely unable to determine why we are incapable of using the talent we have for anything. Have the juniors just checked out that much, are they just not that good? What gives?
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
I chalk it up to lack of leadership on the blocks.
Devin and Milton just don’t exude (or instill) a lot of confidence, and I’m not sure I would look up to them or want to play with them. They play like they’re on the court for themselves and not the team.
Andre is the closest thing Clemson has to a real leader, but he can only do so much…
Agreed, Milton & Devin both leave a lot 2 b desired….

Getting out rebounded 12-3 with 7 left in the 1st.
That is never good. The team is not taking good choices on when to shoot.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
And yet we are only currently losing by 5. Guess there is a silver lining in there somewhere
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
And tie game at 29
Big three pointers to get us back. Team now needs to do start dishing below and trying to get good underneath shots.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Tanner forces a good foul and drops the layup
Lets hope we can get the coveted 3 point play
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Booker couldn't hold onto the ball if it was super glued to his hand
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
ITS LIKE A GREASED PIG BUT WORSE

This is depressing
At least there is no one at this game
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Welp...
Only down by 3 at the half is not bad. I was hoping they would put a deuce in right before the buzzer, but oh well.
At the half we are down 39-42
Team worked its way back into it, due to Tanner Smith TRYING. Good lord this team just doesn’t have any wind in its sails when on the road. Coach BB is going to need to push these kids to get this win, Miami is going to bring it’s Bigs back on the court to start the 2nd half and we will not be able to counter this
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Sure we will
just requires BOBO POWER

COME ON!
Stop with the 3s, Devin! I would bench him every time he took that shot. I guess Brownell gives him the OK to jack it up…otherwise he would have stopped by now.
He must hit it in practice
I’ve heard he dominates whenever the team plays horse
by PenthouseTiger on Jan 18, 2012 8:18 PM EST up reply actions
We need to run a 2-3 zone. Stop the bleeding by playing insde
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Flush the damn toilet already, stop pissing this shit away Jennings
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
A 3 pointer before the shot clock gets to 15.
Anyone else think we have confidence issues?
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
So maybe we're a little premature in what we're doing
Is that what your saying?
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Wish I could see this game
but I’m too cheap to pay for more than basic channels and it’s blacked out on ESPN3
Same here.
Following game tracker yet again.
Well if you would like, I can give you synopsis
Tanner, Andre, Bobo, and freshmen are running the floor. Booker and Jennings have found a concession stand that serves some pretty good chicken sandwiches. Miami is actually a pretty good team, but they aren’t playing to their best potential. As I wrote that last sentence they sink an open 3 pointer.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Yeah, but these are some pretty dank chicken sandwiches
They brought some back to the bench to share. TV timeout for all!
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Tigers are 10/15 from the free throw stripe.
A ton better than sundays game
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Bobo runs down the court and gets a good shot up after getting no call fouled
Team needs to be getting more defensive rebounds. We need to be containing those to extend a lead. BTW we are up 62-59…
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
I just looked and was shocked to see that we were up.
First time all game?
I saw no foul on that.
Great D by Bobo and goof help by Jennings
Miami went 4 minutes without field goal
Then drops a 3 at the buzzer to get within 1. They just got a foul and have taken the lead on both FTs. Bobo is playing big and is abusing their big. We need someone to be able to make its own shot
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Painful. I am jealous of you all watching on gametracker
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Haha
I know what you mean. It was tough to watch the CofC and Coastal games in person this year.
I could have never done that.
Would have gotten in a fight or begin yelling at the players on how much I would have done with a free education from Clemson.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
What is jennings doing missing free throws
And turnover tanner strikes again…

This sucks feel like we are
Back to thinking we are a football only school which we aren’t that good at that
by Clemfan on Jan 18, 2012 8:51 PM EST via Android app reply actions
HAHAHA BOOKER on a 1 on one in the low post with a GUARD covering him throws the ball out of bounds at Coach BB
LITERALY YOU CAN"T FUCKING MAKE THIS UP
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
LIKE STUPID PILLS SERIOUSLY STUPID PILLS WHO DOES THIS KIND OF CRAP
IF YOU DON"T WANT TO PLAY TURN THE JERSEY IN. THERE ARE PLENTY OF KIDS IN FIKE WHO WOULD KILL TO BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR THE TIGERS
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Wow.
Devin just doesn’t demand the rock like Trevor did. I noticed this in the FSU game (I believe) where he got it down low 1 on 1 and he passed the rock to Jennings in the corner. Look, Devin. Get your moves on a posterize that guy. Sheesh! He does not want the ball unless he’s got a clear lane to the rim.
We knew this was going to be a tough year,
But it would be much easier to accept if they would just suck all the time. The worst is when they show up and care about the game and play well (FSU, Winthrop). Then, they follow it up with a game like the BC game.
There is something to be said for consistency, and consistency is something Clemson Athletics has been lacking for some time…
What the hell is consistency? Wikipedia is down, can't look that shit up.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Booker is a joke
Why do we complain in football and blame the coaches but blame the players in basketball brownell needs to dig in booker and jennings ass
by Clemfan on Jan 18, 2012 8:58 PM EST via Android app reply actions
We don't. If BB is unable to inspire these kids but keeps playing them then its his fault.
Play the 5 best players who PLAY, and PLAY TOGETHER. That is something that is missing on this team right now. Pull those guys, force them to grow up on the bench and play the young ones and get the experience for the future.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
It's way easier to blame the players
when there are only 5 out there at a time instead of 11. But I don’t think we yell about Devin and Milton any more than we yell about lazy football players like McClain
by PenthouseTiger on Jan 18, 2012 9:03 PM EST up reply actions
Down by 1 with 5 seconds left.
Tanner just threw up a prayer and Milton was there to put it in. Good lord. My heart.
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Fouled them on the inbounds
they get two shots to go the line with 5.4 seconds left on the clock
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Miami makes both Free Throws, goes up 73-76, same time left on clock
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Loss 73-76
Tanner turns it over on late recognition on how open Andre Young was.
I’ll be out of the country the next few games so someone else will hopefully be on here to live blog and keep me up to date when I check in at random times. Lets hope we can turn it around
Don't give up, don't ever give up ~ Jim Valvano
Glad I didn't witness that.
I wouldn’t have expected any less. This feels a lot like the years 2-3 of OP. Losing close games. I believe there is a light though. Players never seemed to progress while OP was at Clemson, but last year I saw things out of Jerai he hadn’t been doing for 3 years. I believe BB and/or his assistants are good coaches. Andre Young has shown an ability to attack on a break or from a set recently. Makes me sick to think about how good someone like KC Rivers or Sharrod Ford could have been with 4 years of BB.
