Have you guys played basketball before? They are 4 possessions away from tying the game or taking the lead.

It isn't ideal, but this is a good team. It's March Madness, Clemson is lights out right now. They are more than likely going to cool down and we are more than likely going to heat up a bit.

Cool. They'll serve as Kleenex when you're sobbing your ass off.

What are you even talking about..

What I'm talking about..is people saying the game is over in the first half.. we'll make a run and get back in this..just like we did in Lu.bbock..just like we did against Houston .

Pretty much as I called it - this team is so bad on d - when shots aren't falling we can lose to any body in the top 70. My prediction was 1 win in the B12 and 1 here - unfortunately I am probably right unless we see some kind of miracle- just a frustrating team to watch - but still an entertaining season - Sic Em

Clemson is kicking our ass with starting players sitting on the bench the majority of the half!

I knew that after Friday's offensive outburst that BU would go cold today. Still a chance if Clemson cools down & we quit having terrible possessions.

When we don't move and cut we let their size dictate. They are clearly not quick enough to stay in front if we move them around. We settled for a lot of pounding the dribble and going 1on1.

Don't try to talk reason with a bunch of pansies whos highest degree of athletic achievements were getting picked last in kickball.

when you have 1 good possession out of 10. It's a dire circumstance

You are a sad sad little man.

I'd pray for you but I'm afraid God would block me after.

I have no doubt will make a run. Games far from over. Only a dummy would say otherwise. But this start was absolutely predictable and indicative of an entire season of slow starts.

Bruh we have the best 2nd half team in the nation. Clemson needed a 10 point lead just to have a chance. Bears by 8. Just bought my plane tickets.

Another buzzer 3 against Baylor. Crap.
That was great defense too. Dennis played that perfectly.

We're just cursed where buzzer beaters are concerned.



I'm sorry what was the great defense letting him get an uncontested deep shot off? Again he wasn't pressured causing him to eat time

The whole team, bench included, is past due.

Doubtful, Nunn only looks good in transition and we're not going to get to play that kind of ball in this game

Yep. We've had games this year where Walter has struggled. This isn't one of them. Without him, we're down 15-plus right now.

Guys, get real. We have one of the best coaches in the nation. We have a very good team. Do any of you think we won't have a 10-0 run at some point in the second half?

If you answer no, the odds aren't in your favor and you don't know basketball. Every coach teaches to withstand the big run and recover. They expect runs and dry spells.

10-0? Probably not. But we can definitely have a 15-5 or 20-10 and there's plenty of time to do it.

Attacking rim better.

In order for us to make a 10-0 run we have to play defense.
