these 2 guys are absolute ballers. You could tell that these losses are really wearing on these guys. Reed was very emotional last night. These 2 guys have really played hard and have become very important parts of our team this year. I look forward to watching them play the next 2 years regardless of who the coach is. They both work really hard and deserve to be noted for their play.

Agree. But sad the coach can't draw up plays and/or teach them

So their efforts aren't wasted. The plays we run at the end of some of these games is mind blowing. I have no doubt some of our players are extremely mind blowing.
Honestly reminds me a bit of Tommy Bowden days in football. No one was as good at blowing a lead or losing in memorable fashion as Bowden.

i think Grantham was supposed to deliver the pass to Blossomgame near mid court but rushed it. Blossomgame was then gonna drive to the basket or kick it to the corner to Reed for a last second shot.
If it were me, which i'm not the coach and certainly dont claim to know more than Brownell, I would have taken my chances getting the ball to reed and letting him drive the length of the floor for a last second floater or layup and maybe get fouled.

agree on Thomas but he has got to get tougher on man to man

defense down low. He is the best scoring big man we've had, along with Trevor Booker, in many years. Thomas has got to be more aware on defense and he also has to be a better 'team' guy. I have sat near the bench at quite a few games and when he is taken out of the game, he just sits on the bench and sulks. i'd like to see him take a little more of a team approach.
those 3 guys, along with a more seasoned Robertin, and the freshmen coming in (especially Trapp) have a chance to be pretty good in the coming years. I would also hope that Grantham has a productive senior year as well as Devoe

Believe it or not but the future of CLEMSON basketball isn't as bleak as many of the half empty guys would have you believe. Just one player is all we need. Hopefully that will be the kid from Spartanburg but if he reads tnet he may decide life is better in chapel hill! Or Hades for that matter!

I think it took Mitchell some time to fully recover from the injury. Now that he's 100%, he is really playing well. If he can improve his jump shot, he can be an outstanding ACC point guard.
With Reed, it's simply a case of him finally getting the minutes he should have been playing all along. Until recently, DeVoe was getting more minutes than Reed, and that is simply unfathomable.

We need some defensive players and rebounders

to go with them. Our offense is improved, but our defense has gotten worse.
Unfortunately, it's a wash.
