Will we beat CU this year?

[Dietz]

OP has a LOT of faith in his boys this year. He has been quoted that they will "contend for the national title" this year, that's pretty darn optimistic if you ask me, anyway, just wondered if any of you have been keeping up with both programs enough to know how we match up.

[tptgamecock]

Not sure on how we may match up. But, I do feel we can play with them. If we get some three's going up there we can hang with them. OP may be putting his faithful for a big disappointment much like SOS did to us in football. We will see. I think Clemson has a great coach but I don't know that they are ready to compete for a NC.

ny CU i assume you mean campbell university and yes we will beat them haha

[CaptainCrunch]

playing at Clemson hurts but I think we have a solid chance.

[bigmuthafooka]

YES WE WILL WIN!

[Dietz]

ny CU i assume you mean campbell university and yes we will beat them haha:lol: I'm optimistic as well, I listened to our game against Citadel the other night, and granted it was Citadel, but to hang a century on em leads me to believe we have the offensive firepower to take this one

They are going to have a pretty solid team this year. They will get to the big Dance. I don't know how far they will get, but their team looks pretty sharp.

why do we only play them once??what is the deal with that??

[USC-Hokie]

I hope so but can't honestly say b/c I have not seen anything on Clemson this year. How about the Davidson Wildcats though? They are going to be tough again this year. If things to not pan out this year, I want McKillop.

[uscnoklahoma]

Right now...no. As usual our problem will be, as it has been every year, the big men.

[Cockhornleghorn]

Clemson has a pretty good ballclub this year, but they would not be able to beat us in a fullcourt game. Whoever controls the tempo in that game will win. We lost to Southern Cal because they controlled the tempo.

And we allowed 50% from the field, and we allowed uncontested shots and we allowed open backdoor cuts and alley oop inbounds passes.

All in the halfcourt. We can't play a taller team in the halfcourt on offense or defense.

I am part U-Dub Husky, so if Odom did retire after this year.. I am partial to Cameron Dollar (Assistant Coach at Washington).. He can recruit.. and really knows basketball..

[evilpoptart]

The guy in Winthrop would be the popular vote.

[COCKDIESEL]

We should have killed NCSU today. We missed so many open shots. But the Problem was that we couldn't stop their big men. I think that will be a trend all year long unless. Muldrow, Holmes, and Archie can really come into their own. Something from Mitchell Carter and Chad Gray would be nice as well.

[doccock]

If we can't get more scoring underneath and learn to shoot foul shots in a hurry, we have little chance.

I hope so.

I don't think USC will get blow out like they did last year. I am not sure that we will beat Clemson at Littlejohn though. Can USC win? Certainly. I think the team is much improved and has some great, young talent. During the tourney in Orlando, IMO lack of experienced hurt USC. We should've beaten NC State and should've been able to take out George Mason. This early in the year, I am concerned about beating Clemson on the road.

As for National Championship hopes... I don't think Clemson has a shot in hell. Do you think they are better then Duke and UNC this year? Negitive... and those are two teams in the ACC with Clemson.

[eklypised]

From what i saw last night with Clemson. Yes..Purdue was playing 4, FOUR, freshman the whole game and a sophmore and Clemson barley beat them on late BS shot that they got lucky with the roll..now we are young as well but i think we are more talented..its just doin the basics..rebounding and hitting easy shots

[Forkcock]

Mays is out for 6 weeks. We might just have a chance.

[Dietz]

Mays is out for 6 weeks. We might just have a chance.that's great news! we will need any breaks we can get, this is such an intense rivalry, I foresee a lot of fouls, whoever does better from the charity stripe will likely be the winner

I certainly hope so !!! :bballcoc: :bballcoc: :bballcoc: :bballcoc:
