For those like me, who don't follow Clemson that much, there are a few new names on their roster. Zackery, Lakhin and Heidbreder are all transfers - BC, Cincinnati and Air Force, respectively - while Jones is a freshman.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

We would seem to have some matchup problems with Clemson.

Seth at 6'3 presumably defends 6'4 Chase Hunter all game long. But then what?

EC or RJ could match up with 6'1 Zackery.

But the next shortest guy on the floor for Clemson, most of the time, is 6'8 240 Schieffelin. RJ against him? Drake might work, but he's comparatively scrawny, so will he have the endurance? I'd be inclined to put Drake on taller but also scrawny Wiggins.

Do we run Withers and Claude against Schieffelin until they run out of fouls? If we start one of those guys, who sits? RJ? Ian? We're going to need their offense.

Do we use a lot of zone? Box and 1? Triangle and 2? Would that help?

That Lakhin kid had himself a night against Cooper Flagg on Saturday. We're going to be undersized across most of the lineup as usual.

Can’t believe I am saying this about a clemsuck basketball team but hopefully we catch them with no energy after their two games. Triple OT loss vs Ga Tech and a hard fought win vs dook. But I am sure the North Carolina on our jersey will have them pumped up.

Them still being hung over might be our best defensive strategy.

Yeah. I just watched the 2nd half. He isn't flashy and some might even call him lumbering, but he's solid and competent.

Was it just when I was paying attention or do all Clemson's bigs play facing the basket?

Don't know about that WW .. they beat a really good dook team and it might be they are hitting their stride at the right time and you gotsta know after what we did to them for decades on our floor they are licking their chops for some good old fashioned payback. I think we drop this one by double digits easy and Littlejohn will be loving every minute of it. Yet hope springs eternal .. GO HEELS!

Nah. We're going undefeated the rest of the way.

Or is that the headache medicine talking?
