pointer with less than five seconds left to beat UC Irvine, yet four out of four ESPN experts have Clemson falling to TCU, Interedting very interesting.

be favored over us. We beat the holes by 1 point and are still heavily favored over all of our opponents thus far.
If you have a single blip, it usually just a sign of lack of focus or an off day. It it becomes a pattern, thats when you would ask yourself "Is this team overrated"

UK, not to mention the fact that UK beat former #1 Michigan State this season. I get it tho it’s just one game or one blip, but when you only have 4 games to judge a team’s skill by, one game is pretty important, i’m not saying Clemson should be favored to win or anything, maybe they should, but I am saying I’m surprised all 4 experts have TCU.

Didn't UC Irvine have that big upset in the NCAA Tourney last year? They're historically a pretty good team.

TCU is a lot like us. Lost a lot of good players from last year. They do have a good scoring guard Bane who was All-Big 12 last season, and a pretty good big man. They have a few grad transfers like us.
Like I said yesterday, we need to win at least one of the two games in Vegas including the first game vs. TCU. We don't want to lose to them and play a real bad Wyoming team who will most likely lose to Colorado. We play the Cowboys and win that would really hurt our strength of schedule. Colorado is ranked and has one of the best PGs in the country. That might be a bad match-up for us. TCU has a lot of inexperience, but some talent. The key is to win at least one of the two games in Vegas including the first one, win at a rebuilding Minnesota in the ACC-BIG Chg. and beat South Carolina at home and only have at least one non conference loss. If we can get Baehre, Trapp and Hemenway healthy by January, maybe we can make a decent showing in the ACC.

He will drop 30+ on us and hit about five threes...at least that seems to be a recurring theme the past several years.
Regardless, hoping we can pull out a big win in Vegas!
