know anything about any of the teams outside of Duke and North Carolina. I imagine that they've heard that Syracuse might have some talent but why bother.

And this is just my opinion*
If you can't score, you can't win (consistently). Its all about put the ball in the basket, night in and night out. Oh sure, they'll be some nights you'll win a 52/50 type game. And you need to be able to play those from time to time. But all in all, you have to be able to score. (from recent past)~> your team scoring leaders can't be where they have been, the 11 and 12 ppg (IMO).
Yes, I understand that..."well what if everyone on your team is in dbl figures?" (makes a difference)
But I think you need at least 2 guys on your team that can consistently give you @ 15+ ppg. I would "like" to think it would be McDaniels and Roper. But so far, I'm in wait-n-see mode; For now....sorry for typos

Our b ball team is going to be much improved. We aren't going to be storming into the ranks but we are moving into the right direction. No way we finish in the bottom 2.

We will see 4-5 guys on the floor this season that didn't play last year. Some of them should definitely help at the ACC level. Coupled with natural progression from of at least some of the returnees gives me hope for significant improvement from our team. I won't be surprised if we finish in the top ten in our league. I believe in Brad Brownell!

Without a real experienced presence on the inside....

this team will live and die based on how well it shoots from the perimeter.
With four freshmen, five sophomores and five juniors, this team also lacks the element of senior leadership.

We are going to be pretty good n the perimeter, and may be one of the best perimeter defensive teams in the ACC.
I'll be curious ot see if he changes his style any and we get out and run and pressure more.

I'll know we'll pressure the ball full ct., but I anxious to see if we mix it up with some zone trap and run and jump stuff.

Granted, no Seniors, but our Juniors have Senior experience .... they have been playing hard minutes since they were "wittle babies", unlike some teams where you basically sit for the first two years ... Clemson will finish no lower then 4th this year ... Remember, you heard this first on TigerNet !

vault us to the top of the ACC in basketball.
I'm old enough to remember when Littlejohn was built - it was said back in the late 60s that all we needed was to move out of Fike into a "real" basketball coliseum in order to be competitive in the ACC. Yeah, that sure paid off didn't it?
Who thinks throwing more dollars at it now will do much better? A shiny new coliseum isn't magically going to cause the top recruits to flock to Clemson instead of UNC, Duke, Syracuse, etc.

I think the difference now is that Brad Brownell is building a program to go along with the facilities. He seems to be operating with a long term approach. His recruiting has picked up substantially these last two years and looks to be improving. IMO if we just leave him alone he will get us back to the best of the Ellis, Barnes, and OP years consistently. Rising above that is the real challenge but it is not impossible. Now is not the time to be thinking that it can't be done under this coaching staff.

I think KJ and Roper are going to be pretty good, and I love Hot Rod Hall as a PG.
Interested to see what Blossomgame's got too

I find it interesting that Miami is ranked #14 while they were legitimate title contenders last year.

Miami graduated 85% of their scoring and 91% of their rebounding
The Canes graduated all 5 starters.

I look fo the basketball team to exceed expectations. Big CU, I believe the juniors will provide the "senior" leadership. The addition of Blossomgame and Coleman to those who played last year, as well as the new guys gives us some options we didn't have. Anxious to see the guys Friday night.
