The ACC Thread

[Hitman Hart]

Clemson lost by 30+ points last night to Louisville. Clemson looked like a team that could contend for an NCAA tournament bid when conference play started, but they are now 1-5 in conference.

That's a pretty big hole to climb out of. They do have a pretty good SOS, so its not out of the question to suggest that they could make the NCAA's with an 8-10 ACC record.

I think if they get to 9 wins(which looking at their remaining schedule, isn't out of the realm of possibility) I think they're a lock, no matter what happens in the ACCT. If they finish with an 8-10 record, I think getting two wins in the ACCT, they would be feeling pretty safe. 1-1, would leave them squarely on the bubble.

Playing UofL at the Yum center is hard on any team.

I have a feeling Clemson much better than their record because they've played nothing but buzz saws on their way to this losing record. They could be a decent team.

Problem is that they're 1-5 right now. Have to beat some of those teams, especially since they are a veteran team. Also, their win over Wake was such bullshit.

Their game against VT on Sunday night is a must win.

 

[douggie]

Duke favored by 9 means they are playing at home.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

The beginning of this Cuse/ND game is just pathetic

 

[Hitman Hart]

Wake wins in Raleigh for the first since the CP3 nutpunch game in 2005. Wake now 3-4 in the ACC.

Duke looks like shit

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Duke is a fucking train wreck

The hype wasn't real

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Worst half I've seen from a team all year.

It was stupid shit after stupid shit.

And now Allen hurt because he was a dumbass

They been dealing with injuries all year. Don't think that's fair to say. I'm not even sure if they played a single game yet with everyone available

 

[bksballer89]

Also it is January. March is 2 months away.

They've got like 9 McDonalds All Americans I think it's ok if 1 or 2 are out.

Whose out tonight?

So these guys are only good at basketball because of their coach?

Got it.

Doesn't help that their freshman outside of Tatum are not playing that great. Having Jefferson miss 2 big road games against top 10 (final 4 caliber) teams probably didn't help either. They had a pretty brutal schedule to start of conference play. It gets a little soft now for a few games but losing this game would be bad

It's more the body of work couple with this game. Road losses to FSU and UL are not bad.

But a week off to play this bad at home to a decent team?

I agree. This would be a bad L for sure. I think they'll come back but we'll see. As Bilas just said games like this and Monday against NC State are games you really need to win.

5 point game

 

[mr.hockey4242]

5 point game

Fortunately they are converting after awful Miami TOs.

Twice Miami got stops and lost the ball with duke turning them into 5 pts.

Let's see if this is the momentum they needed
