Simple wishes for the 2 tournaments: win min 1, then min 2

In the ACC T, all I was wishing for was minimum 1 win.
For NCAAs, I would like to see 2 wins as a minimum.
Clemson needed to get to semifinals in ACC Tournament. Seeded higher. Double Bye. It was expected. - Mission accomplished. Rest is gravy for ACC T as long as next game vs UVA is competitive. Play the #1 team in ACC and #1 ranked team in nation, and make the game very competitive that will breed a lot of confidence for NCAAs.
The margin of error for this team remains slim.
We can play with vast majority of teams if the following three things occur: 1. We need at minimum 2 of the main scorers to play well every game (Gabe, Reed and Shelton) 2. E Thomas has to play smart and for 28+ minutes. 3. We need a surprise offensive spark off the beach (Donna, Simms, Oliver, Trapp) 4. We need to shoot 3 pointers at our season avg or better
An A+++ game for Clemson would be as follows and make the Tigers tough to beat: 1. All three main scorers play well and score 18+ each 2. Two bench guys surprise to score 10+ each 3. Team 3 PT % is 44% or higher (Team % is 37% for year) 4. Turnovers are 7 or less ( we avg 12 per gum for the year) 5. Thomas shoots 60% from field, and has double-double of 15+ Pts and 10+ RBs 6. Skara plays really well for 20+ minutes 7. Team FT % is 80% or higher 8. Clemson wins the Offensive Rebounding stat or has Off Rebound % of 33% or higher (season avg is 25%)
