MBB - 🤞 Clemson 2/21 GAME THREAD.

[Ramble1885]

Time for ME to be the one who starts a game thread again! Tonight our Jackets try to get a season sweep of Clemson. I think we probably lose, because it is very hard to beat the same team twice! I hope the team proves me wrong!

This will be a challenging game for sure. The first game against Clemson, George and Reeves both had excellent games. Clemson dominated the boards but shot very poorly. We had a very good shooting night. Reeves was 5-7 from 3 point range. Hall put up 31 points with 8 as FTs. Not fouling will be both hard and key to the game tonight. We need to limit their offensive rebounds more than last game against them.

As we are very inconsistent and unpredictable I venture no guessas to the game's outcome. This would be a very good win!

At home, Kelly 8 points shy of 1000. Let's hope he goes "Caitlin Clark" on 'em. Seemed like we were a little better on boards for Cuse. Let's keep trending up!! Go Jackets!!

Gapare has helped some in the paint recently.When I played (100 years ago) it was really nice when the smaller guys blocked out the guy they were guarding. BTW, Kelly has been very active on the glass.

Pishaw! Next you'll tell me the actually called 'travel' if you took 4 steps without dribbling.

Just kidding, 57sauce.

We'll use it in baseball if it does. Until then @FredJacket is introducing series till we lose one.

Clemson is just a significantly better team. I've watched them several times this season, and it always stands out to me how solid they are 1-5. I'm not expecting a win tonight (though I'd love that); if I see some fight and we keep it close, then I'll view that as a moral victory.

PJ Hall had a career night against us last time out. And the dude’s average night is a career night for most centers to put that in perspective.

I bet Schiefflein has a big night again too. This is a bad matchup. Add to it that midweek games in McCamish are cavernous, it’s just a bad recipe tonight.

I heard your first job was workin' security for Noah. On the arc.

I kid, I kid. I know you got all the sauce, 57.

On a bright note, I take back all of my harsh comments about Carter Murphy. Dude doesn't know if he's gonna play at all on any given night, but when he gets in the game, he plays hard and makes some tough shots. Obviously he wouldn't be getting minutes for a competitive ACC team, but he's far from the problem on this squad.

Bad defense. Bad offense. Another blowout that was over before it started.

Can’t win when you shoot 30% vs. 50%. But it’s frustrating that we don’t show any signs of improvement. We’ve hit a wall.

Reeves was coming on for a bit and then just fell off a cliff.

When he stopped dyeing his hair, he lost his mojo.

On a whole other note, and I'm sure I'm not the first to say, it's mildly frustrating watching all these GA kids ... not even super highly-ranked ones ... coming back home(sic) and whuppin our collective arses the past few years. Hope those days are coming to a close.

Schieffelin didn't even get an offer. Brutal overlook on our part.

I didn't have much enthusiasm while watching tonight. Clemson really illustrates our need for quality bigs inbound next year.
