That UNC game was the one & only time this season that BC played any ACC opponent close. Total fluke.
BC played UNC close so we can't take them lightly, they actually should have won that game. If the guys play like they have played the last couple of games we should easily take care of business.
If we play like the first half yesterday, we will not easily take care of business. If we play like the second half yesterday we will win by 25
BC is winless but they are MUCH better at home than on the road and will be playing for pride...
Boston College is a bad team, flat out, regardless of what conference they play in. No excuse for not beating them handily. Further, if don't win this game by 8+ then we can forget about beating Louisville & Pitt.
Gotta disagree with the "if we play like we did in the 1st half..." comment. Clemson built their bogus lead from some double good fortune with Blossomgame heating up while seemingly all outside shots were going in. Not because Tech was "playing bad". At one point Clemson had hit 60% from 3!! Our guys weathered the storm and once that freak-show subsided they fought their way back to the win.
I agree with this. Yes, Clemson was making everything they threw up, but that was partly because they shot loosely guarded threes, and had a number of uncontested dunks. Our guys did not show much energy in the first half (although our first several shots fell as well). As they felt the game going their way, Clemson played with even MORE intensity.Eh, they definitely hit some contested shots, but the defense was far from stellar
Blossomgame has been very good all season. Though CBG's decision to move MGH on him in the second half was a smart adjustment. MGH is by far our best defender.
This team is by far the weakest defensive team CBG has had here, but that has been outweighed by an offense that is significantly better. Our 110.7 AdJ o (53rd nationally) is so much better than anything we've seen.
Trap gameThis game terrifies me!
