    think coaching may be their problem, they have alot of talent...but I think they have a lot of exploitable holes

      syracuse is another team with tons and tons of talent...but too streaky... they have head problems

      they are over-rated...but when they have their stuff together, I think they can run with anyone in the country...problem is, they never seem to have it altogether.

      sorry but not impress by how Clemson let GT stay close for way too long, did they even cover? 8 points to a team no-where near the tourney

        any road win, plus a cover, in college, is ok in my book
        didnt watch the game though

          First, I'm not a Clemson apologist by any means...I'm a University of South Carolina grad. and I don't like the Tigers...

          But if you knew ANYTHING about the history of Clemson basketball, you'd know that Oliver Purnell was the BEST thing that had happened to the Tigers in, oh say, forever. He's won everywhere he's been. And he's winning at a place that NO ONE has every won at for long. Rick Barnes KNEW he couldn't win at Clemson on a long term basis and bolted as soon as he got the chance.

          Did you saw them the night they f'ing destroyed Duke at home? Didn't see too may holes that night. How about you?

          Double digit road win in the ACC...I'll bet UNC would like to have had one of those yesterday against the Terps. Ya' think?

          The Tigs may have problems...but the problems aren't OP...

                i'm not real impressed with you plommer... you've been slacking....get back to work brother


                if i'm an ACC team will I take a 8 point win on the road? hell yeah a win is a win..... WAS IT IMPRESSIVE? no

                they play like that against a tourney team...they lose half the time... a team with Clemson's talent has no business letting the worst ACC team stay within 5 or 6 with 7 mins left in the game....that's playing with fire

                guys were running around like chicken's with their heads cut off, playing sloppy, dumb fouls, way way too many turnovers, telegraphing passes, not making the extra pass, poor help defense, reaching in, poor defense overall


                If you are "O.P" what would you be saying in the locker room after this game?

                      I've been the first to critique Pitt all year, and i'm still a cynic... and I've also been saying many of the BE teams are over-rated.... I posted earlier how I don't think 7 teams in the dance is necesarily the most fair thing at this point..

                      every year lately everyone gets caught up in the BE vs ACC, but there are alot of teams that have the talent to make a run when they get hot... it happens almost every year. dont' get enamoured with anyone one conf and team and think they will dominate...



                      if GT can give clemson a run
                      and maryland/BC can beat UNC
                      and VT/Miami can beat wake
                      and unlv/nd can beat louisville
                      and S. Florida can beat marquette
                      and rutgers can come within 6 of Pitt
                      and buffalo can hang with Uconn


                      then this tourney is wide open... you gotta bring your A game 6 times and for the best teams...there are 5 very dangerous games where if the above can happen a little known mid-major team can beat you too...

                      I think people are handing the title to teams in the top 10 or top 5 even.. only... when every year I think we see more parity around the d-I level.

                        just trying to balance out the ACC love.... I try to balance out Tpowell and guys like shortstop too.....

                        SBR= Sports Balanced reporting, IMO

                        I do hate the lack of defense in the ACC though...as I'm an old school defense wins basketball kinda guy
