First time watching UConn and they seem to be overrated. They may be playing bad but we can beat them.

This is the first game they’ve been evenly matched up with. Their big man is definitely a problem, but he can’t play the whole game.

Man. You must not understand that UConn has beat teams on an average of over 27 points per game in the tournament?! I guess you forgot it’s the same team that dominated the tournament last year. I guess if we forget all that, they aren’t very good. One loss since January.
I get wanting to be confident. Underestimate UConn at your own peril. They are on pace to hold the second best offense to around 50 points. We gave up much more to third best offense. I know that’s apples and oranges. It is a measuring metric. Also see the size of the average player on UConns team. Their center is 4” taller than our PF playing center. Their power forwards are so versatile they’re listed as G/F. All of those guys can handle the ball (except their center) like a true point guard. They also are bigger at every position on the floor. Granted size don’t always win game. But, those lengthy F/G’s play like smaller players. They also all shoot the three extremely well.
I want us to win it all as much as anyone. I’ve been lobbying for more $ to be poured into men’s basketball. I believe we can be as successful as we want. Marquette is proof of that. They don’t have a fraction of the resources we do overall yet they are perennial tournament teams that win it all occasionally.
I really hope and pray we can beat Bama to get a chance against UConn. Regardless of the outcome it should bolster recruiting HS seniors and great portal plug and play players. I’d love to see some one and done talent revolving through Clemson! I’m praying for a Natty. Let’s go do this!

haven't hit hardly any 3s and their 1st half scoring was mostly the big man who we can bounce out better than Illinois has...
Don't forget about our 'bench' forwards and Girard's trips to the line late. The two Hunter(s) play great D.

This is the championship game. Win this and we’re cutting nets! For the West Regional anyway. They let you hang a banner for that! West Regional Champions 2024 would look awesome in LittleJohn. I’m dreaming for a National title banner! Kinda covering my eyes and peeking between my fingers. Lol

Not dreaming... Keep the big man out of the circle and it's a different game.***

You probably should have waited until the 30-0 UConn run. I am 72 years old and I have never see anything like that.

You don't answer a short run with nothing but 3s. That makes for a long run.***

Agree 100%. Have never seen a 30-0 run. Some bad play by Illinois but still. NEVAH.

This year and UConn is solid. I have them winning it all in my bracket. With that said, I understand how HARD it is to do that in back to back years. So the odds are heavily against them. My point is they’re 1 of the best 4 teams in the nation. That doesn’t mean or meant that they couldn’t get beaten by an inferior opponent. Happens all the time. Just means if they played an opponent they win 8 out of 10 times except for like four schools right now.
That’s my 2 cents.

Defending national champs and they've won their first 3 tourney games by like 28 ppg. Looks like they are about to equal that margin against Illinois in the E8.
They've definitely earned any mystique they have.

Yeah, there's UConn and Purdue ... and then there's the rest
These two teams, especially UCONN at this very moment, are head and shoulders above the competition. Nothing wrong with saying that, it's just true.
But wouldn't it make it that much sweeter if Clemson had the opportunity to play the best and also beat the best?!
