The lack of interest in the bball game tonight is odd...

I hate the coots in all sports and tonight is no different, I can't wait and want to hear what everyone thinks the outcome will be....
I think we surprise with one of our best defensive efforts of the season and finally get some outside shots to fall, Harrison and roper with big games and tigers win something like 70-60, thoughts?

Think there is a little more interest than normal because both teams are playing decent and they didn't schedule the game right around the football rivalry. I think there will be about 12 to 13k at the game which is pretty good crowd. At least a third of those Clemson fans. I like your outlook about the game but think it will be a little lower scoring game. Roper will hit some baskets to get out of his slump coming back home. Also, watch for Blossomgame to hit a couple of 3s like in the key wins over Duke and FSU last year. 62-59 Tigers.

much greater interest in our basketball team, and certainly much more buzz about this game in years past, so I'm thinking that's not it.

It is still a rivalry game, so even if we were 0-9 so far I'd still expect some banter about beating the chickens. Actually it we were 0-9 there would certainly be some talking going on haha

Tell you what I think....it's Christmas and many are thinking other thoughts such as shopping or what party or restaurant
to go to. The wife and I are busy running here or there and won't get into BB until after the new year.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

early losses. Those early losses to mid major teams set a bad tone,
Last year we had KJ and in other years we've had other dynamic play makers. I see some emerging with this team but not yet to that degree. Also, we're not killer as much on D as we have been in prior seasons under Brownell.
That said, if we keep wining I think it will definitely build momentum and you'll see more interest.

63-59 Tiger's all the way baby. Definitely on the backs of Roper and Blossomgame. Defense is the key for the Tiger's. Hitting 3's early will be great for our confidence and taking the crowd out of it. IMO. You know Brownell has got our guys ready baby.

I'm digging the confidence, knock down some early threes and I think the game becomes much more interesting for us
