@ Clemson Feb 1

[slugboy]

The Littlejohn curse continues--at least in the first half. Hope we can get better wing play, or Lammers will sweat off 20 pounds today.

About to get blown out. We have to recruit some scorers. We have none on the perimeter when Okogie doesn't show.

 

[RamblinCharger]

Abismal offense today. This looks like a CBG team.

 

[awbuzz]

At the 10:00 in 2nd half we've been outscored 8-19. Down by 19.

The need for scorers is real [emoji45]

It's not a huge surprise that in a week we get a ton of pub for being surprise team we get toasted.

Happened to Minnesota this year as well

 

[MWBATL]

Weren't we due for a game like this?

Sometimes it's better to lose by 15 than by 1.

Great fight to make it interesting tonight. Frustrating game to watch though. Had opportunities late to really cut the deficit, and took some questionable and rushed shots. Winnable game that we could look back on and regret.

Rough game for the Jackets. Clemson played with a lot of energy and defended our offense very well. I felt like Pastner stayed with Heyward (and Gueye) too long in this game, especially when we needed offense. The officials seemed really bent towards Clemson and there were times where we just couldn't catch a break. It happens. Like CJP loves to say...the margin for error is REALLY small for this team. 9% of 3-pt shots isn't going to cut it.

We had bursts of energy, but didn't keep it up all game. Nice little comeback at the end, but too little, too late. Oh, well. Let's get'em next time. Go Jackets!

 

[CuseJacket]

I keep picturing a 12 point loss, which means we probably win

This was the team I was expecting this year. Showed good fight though. I know people get tired of hearing it but this is why Pastner keeps saying we have no margin for error. I feel like the Wake game Saturday is a must win to keep tourney a realistic chance. Need FSU to win tonight at Miami.

Very rough game... Went from down 8 at the half to down 20 (21?) at one point.
Did cut the deficit to single digits in the last 3 minutes, but just couldn't shake the Little John curse.

 

[orientalnc]

Syracuse made a great comeback in Raleigh and moved ahead of us tonight. This puts a lot of pressure on Saturday's game at Wake.

 

[SecretAgentBuzz]

25 fouls? Is that our most this year? Felt like 250. It seemed like half of them came on what looked like jump balls.

 

[CuseJacket]

You see Lammers miss that 3 with < 1 min to go? Clearly too many minutes. I mean look at that stat line

 

[slugboy]

blech. Let them hit a lot of shots, and we couldn't hit many. Lammers had a monster game. Clemson seemed to get most of the rebounds.

 

[ChasonBaller]

Wow I was right...*clears throat*
"I keep picturing a patriots 12 point loss, which means we prob win"
let's go with that reverse psychology #RiseUp

 

[ZacketJacket]

Only 6 FTAs in the 1st half, 1-11 3pt%, and a 13-17 A/TO ratio -- not a good recipe for winning games. If we can't hit shots and can't get to the line (aka, don't get fouls called in the paint), we probably won't win.

On the bright side, Lammers continued to grow. If he can stay healthy, we will win some more games that we're expected to lose as long as the whole rest of the team doesn't go cold like they did tonight.

Hmmm...
