I guess no one listens to the Tech radio broadcasts. I always mute the tv and listen that way then rewatch the video later with the network commentary.
Anyway, in the pregame interview with CJP he said that they had no idea how much they would be able to play Heath or Stephens. Stephens had not practiced at all since the ND game because of his sprained ankle. Heath had been so sick that they were not going to play him at all but then after he was put on an i.v. today he felt good enough to try. If Heath was that sick it certainly is possible other players were less sick but still under the weather. Honestly, once I heard that I was resigned to losing the game as there were too many elements stacked against us (Clemson desperate and at home, etc).
I think Pastner tried to get creative, like that lineup with AD at center with Lammers sliding to the 4 and even Matthews getting minutes, but the guys were disjointed overall, no fluidity for the most part. Clemson really did a great job on defense, however, they were really sticking to the guys and clogging up the paint on the cuts. Refs made themselves noticed which is never good.
Finally, did anyone catch what was going on in that late game timeout when CJP chewed out Matthews? He wasn't in the lineup at that time, so it really stuck out that CJP approached him and was on him during a team huddle. Could be an indicator of why he hasn't logged many minutes.
