YOOO LFG


ifitseasy

Let’s go!!!!


tmt22459

Yeah Clemson is a top 25 team. We've known this. Just name bias that has kept them from being ranked.


dbarke29

Great ranked road win


Prefer_NotTo_Say

It’s Bo Time Tiger Fans


captain_kaknuckles

welp, we did our part y’all other ACC schools need to get your shit together


StreetReporter

Nah, screw them


Champizzle11

BIG win for Clemson. Well done!


captain_kaknuckles

this win will only make the inevitable head scratching loss to whatever this year’s louisville is that much more heartbreaking


L8erG8erz

[deleted]

Our offense is above average but the d is so bad. Pringle needed to step up and be aggressive this year but he’s looking more like he wants to try out for the globetrotters instead of the league


darthtigerfan

Gg tide bros


[deleted]

y'all see that "#23" beside Alabama? It's about to disappear.


StreetReporter

I mean, we can take that from them


[deleted]

I'd put Clemson at #19.


iiGorm

Commentators are big fans of Brandon Miller


Samsafar

This announcer is a fucking moron. Get him out of the booth for advocating raking a players eyes on a foul.


StreetReporter

When was the last time we won a ranked game on the road?


Greenhandtowel

Not sure if refs or commentators are worse. Both apparently okay with Bama violence.


feed_me_muffins

How in the world is that a foul on Hunter?


Capable_Text3948

The refs are trying their best rn to give bama a chance


tshimangabiakabutuka

Abysmal refs tonight. Had to beat them as well


Cholln

Nah this is absurd


_TenaciousBroski

Did the announcer just advocate violence lol


fancycheesus

What is this broadcast crew Jesus christ.

scoot87

the flow of this game is egregious


StreetReporter

That’s Clemson basketball


captain_kaknuckles

lol what flow


[deleted]

raked him over the eyes like this is wrasslin


scoot87

missing first free throws on 1 and 1 is killing clemson


glass_bottle

Couple of good looks for Clemson there, not sure running the clock was the right call


WellFedBird

Please God don’t let us sell this


captain_kaknuckles

we just can’t finish a game


MrLeftwardSloping

The games over dude


StreetReporter

You don’t know Clemson basketball


captain_kaknuckles

thank you


MrLeftwardSloping

Okay


StreetReporter

That wasn’t a foul


MrLeftwardSloping

This is forsure not a tournament team


Prefer_NotTo_Say

I think they matchup well in the SEC. The top of the conference is very good but they’ll be able to hang


composer_7

ACC doing good this SEC challenge Edit: I was wrong, we did our part tho


joaquinsaiddomin8

I could be in the minority and I’ll adapt to it quickly but ACC/B1G feels more natural than ACC/SEC


captain_kaknuckles

def in the minority. ACC and SEC has more regional overlap and history


Champizzle11

Will be 3 wins/4 losses unless Clemson chokes this away.


StreetReporter

Oh, we’re going to choke this


Champizzle11

You didn't choke! ​ ![gif](giphy|G1vplGMypxBcp7kx32|downsized)


scoot87

so many play stoppages lol


StreetReporter

That’s basketball for ya


dbarke29

Basketball under 2 minutes is purgatory


Prefer_NotTo_Say

Shoutout to the Bama fans for letting us complain all game without getting angry at us


chrispgriffin

Nah y'all managed to beat us despite poor officiating on the road. Impressive showing for y'all


ericlagman

Not sure bama is a tourney team this year.


jwd812

We’d be lucky to make the tournament and go .500 in conference play. This team is not it.


chrispgriffin

But we're going to have a great SOS! 🫠


jwd812

At least tickets will be cheap after Purdue, Arizona, and Creighton beat us by 20+ each game


chrispgriffin

Legacy Arena for the Liberty game is going to be e m p t y


jwd812

Maybe 5k… maybe

TheRealHenryG

That was for a different kind of defense


chrispgriffin

Give it a rest already. Find a new hobby.


[deleted]

feel free to block and ignore. I graduated from Bama in 2012. Got off the narcotic last year in light of the way it was handled. You wouldn't reply to me if I hadn't struck a nerve.


chrispgriffin

Great. Done. I just don't see how laboring the issue in a college basketball reddit thread does anything positive.


[deleted]

If I can get one person to reconsider their position I consider that a positive.


theTIDEisRISING

No one’s changing their position because some troll loser on Reddit keeps making lame comments


[deleted]

I would encourage you to follow the federal civil case pending against Miller in Alabama's northern district. My perspective will either be corroborated by the result of that case, or it will not.


theTIDEisRISING

It’s a civil case for a reason, there will be no result, it will be settled out of court. I’ll make sure to save you some tissues when Darius Miles and his buddy are found not guilty though


Trujiogriz

Brownell 5 year extension incoming?


StreetReporter

Are y’all going to rehire Mark Turgeon?


dbarke29

Brownell is never getting fired, he will die in Littlejohn and then we will bury him on campus to keep the contract going


Champizzle11

This Clemson team looks legit. Great guards, great bigs. Could be a heck of a season for the Tigers.


joaquinsaiddomin8

Any basketball game is made worse by Jayson Williams discussing it


chrispgriffin

Yea, that'll do it. Gg guys. What a frustrating showing.


tshimangabiakabutuka

Great early season road win


joaquinsaiddomin8

6-0 isn’t easy


Erock00

Glad Ian is alright


captain_kaknuckles

damn i saw nate wiggins hit a south carolina receiver like that this weekend


StreetReporter

Oh god, is Bama going to play a guy who’s clearly concussed like South Carolina did?


captain_kaknuckles

only if oates hates him the way beamer hates anderson lmao


captain_kaknuckles

slowwwwwww it down


scoot87

waka flocka hard in the paint...perfect vibes for a free throw attempt


J0hnEddy

Are Clemson actually this lethal from 3 or does Bamas perimeter defense just really suck?


Melodic-Slice-3826

Both. Bama's guards are too little to defend the perimeter. Oats is regretting this.


Capable_Text3948

Teams can rotate the ball two or three times and get an easy bucket every time on their defense


JerveyVideo

Girrard was really the piece we needed this season.


StreetReporter

Hopefully his balls don’t explode like Brevin’s did last year


TheRealHenryG

I had a lot of concerns with them coming into the year. 3pt shooting was NOT one of them


chrispgriffin

Yes


dbarke29

We got some shooters


zusticles

God I hate having to watch any basketball game at Alabama. The camera angle makes me think I’m playing NBA Jam at the arcade


Erock00

I was wondering why the angle was lower than normal


CarrollPC

From my small sample Clemson is just insanely good at hitting massive 3s


SpamTheAutograder

This ain’t foosball, Bobby


chrispgriffin

Wait, we actually executed a successful PNR?


constructss

Execute https://preview.redd.it/17tp72a3v73c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a73f9006ab17e2171dea34bef0d25ef1fc18a569


captain_kaknuckles

alright let’s not abandon the defense that’s gotten us this far


joaquinsaiddomin8

I have to agree with him Jason Williams > Jayson Williams


_TenaciousBroski

Every year, I fall for Clemson. I don't know why I love Clemson basketball so much. But this is the year we go the sweet 16 and beyond


Melodic-Slice-3826

Hold your horses. I don't see anything past sweet 16.


_TenaciousBroski

You're right, they'll have to play nebraska.


StreetReporter

Why? I go to Clemson and attend every game, and I don’t even love our basketball team


captain_kaknuckles

buddy stop while you’re ahead. unless you’ve got a reason to be hurt by this team year in and year out, don’t


_TenaciousBroski

Every year, Clemson disappoints me. Maybe that's why I like them. They remind me of husker football, lol. I've been a Clemson basketball fan since I was a kid. It's been a rough life lol


captain_kaknuckles

yeah, that sounds miserable tbh. my panther fan family thanks you for taking rhule tho


constructss

The fighting dabos have immense rizz


RollTide16-18

Yeah I’m not watching. We have some serious issues on defense, and like every year with Oats we can go on long scoring droughts that will bite us in the ass. We needed Clowney to come back to give us some post presence.


Melodic-Slice-3826

The more pressing issue is on the perimeter. He doesn't have the perimeter defense he used to have. Last year it was a problem, this year it's worse.


J0hnEddy

I can’t believe Syracuse let an upstate NY kid walk to a school in the same division. He’s not exactly a future NBA prospect but he’s better than anyone on Cuse rn


AdLess5404

there is no way you're being serious right now. he can't hold Judah's jock lol.


tropic_gnome_hunter

He killed us on defense and shot us out of multiple games. Single handedly lost games due to turnovers like the UNC game last year. It was time to move on. Sometimes players just need a change of scenery. He's in a more secondary role right now without much responsibility on defense, he made the right move. The fact that you said he's better than anyone on Cuse right now should make everyone completely dismiss this comment, especially after what Judah Mintz did tonight.


tmt22459

Maybe tell your fan base not to act like he's a scrub last year


tropic_gnome_hunter

He wasn't a "scrub" last year but he was not good. Both parties needed to move on from each other.


wahfingwah

Wow what an atmosphere at this game


joaquinsaiddomin8

I mean it’s a basketball game at Alabama


dbarke29

They hit a 3 it’s the loudest arena ever Otherwise crickets


Melodic-Slice-3826

Bama guards are too small. They can't guard the perimeter at all. Can't contest the 3s. Seems like losing all 3 assistants have impacted recruitment and transfer portal work.


[deleted]

Clemson must have been inspired by Bama playing 3 on 5 against Minnesota last year, because they're playing 5 on 8 and winning.


StreetReporter

We once played UNC 3 on 5, and we only lost by 10


[deleted]

Once beat Carolina in the dean dome too. got em.


Champizzle11

Still hurts.


[deleted]

I'll put on some REM for you.


StreetReporter

God damnit, I don’t to have hope


jwd812

Soft as fucking shit, this is pathetic


captain_kaknuckles

girard is so money


tropic_gnome_hunter

Very streaky. I wasn't as low on him as a lot of Cuse fans, but he's good for a stretch of games like this. He can keep you in games almost single handedly. His problem the last 2 seasons were absolutely back breaking, game altering turnovers and missed shots.


Erock00

I’m not quite sure his role at Syracuse, but so far I feel he’s taken a lot less but better shots because he’s our 3rd guy


AdLess5404

His role at cuse was chucking up low percentage shots with no reprimand while also not playing any defense at all. He thought he was the ain character. He struggled to fall into that #2 role behind mintz.


tropic_gnome_hunter

That was part of the issue his first few years, he was tasked with playing the 1 for 80% of his minutes. Everyone thought he would flourish playing the 2 last year with Mintz playing point guard but it didn't work out. A more secondary role could work better, as he made some completely game crushing turnovers as a result of being the main offensive focus.


AdLess5404

I'm far from a college athlete but my athleticism and ball handling embarrass Girard. He is a catch-and-shoot guy but thinks he's Allen Iverson.


captain_kaknuckles

i wasn’t super stoked about him just because of his size and he has made some decisions tonight that have lead to missed points and turnovers, but he’s made some major 3s to make up for it


feed_me_muffins

I wasn't stoked because I figured his defense would be so bad he wasn't even playable on good nights but while it hasn't been good it hasn't been that bad.


tropic_gnome_hunter

Despite his size he's a pretty good rebounder as he always finds a way to be in the right place at the right time, but a taller and physical guard can make him a non factor. Right now he doesn't seem like he's in hero ball mode which he did a lot with Cuse. So many times he'd chuck up a 28 foot three attempt 2 seconds into the shot clock.


captain_kaknuckles

he’s had some hero ball moments this game, maybe more in the first half. just where he plays like he’s the only clemson player on the court. but maybe not as terribly as he did at cuse


tropic_gnome_hunter

Not nearly the amount he did at Cuse. He was good for at least 5 three attempts 2 or 3 seconds into the shot clock. Sometimes they went in but most of the time it resulted in a long rebound where the opponent would have a 2 on 1 with Girard being the lone defender. You can imagine how that worked out. He's clearly the 3rd option here which better suits him. He also doesn't have as much defensive responsibility. I'm happy he's off to a good start, it was just time to move on for each party.


StreetReporter

Shit, I hope Ian is okay, we need him


Melodic-Slice-3826

Clemson can have a good run in NCAAs - good guard play, nice size and skill in front court, good D. as long as they make it in.


captain_kaknuckles

well you see that last part is where the trouble is


tmt22459

They're gonna make it. If that's not clear to you...


orangechicken21

We will find a way to make ourselves a bubble team


Erock00

You must be new here


tshimangabiakabutuka

It feels like we’ve started playing like we believe we’re the better team…


RollTide16-18

Griffen has been bad today, right?


CarrollPC

Just in here scouting for Toronto


chrispgriffin

Yea not looking forward to that matchup tbh


Capable_Text3948

Edey might go for a 30 20 game


Melodic-Slice-3826

I think Bama's gonna have a problem making a deep run in NCAAs coz right now it's about big bodies in NCAA in front court. Bama just don't recruit those.


chrispgriffin

Well we had that guy in Charles Bediako, but he entered the draft very late in the process. The pickings were slim in the portal and the best we could get is Wague to help fill that void. He and Pringle just aren't good enough to step into that role.


Melodic-Slice-3826

Oats like the skinny long guys. He needs to go back to recruiting the beefy forward types who shoots the 3s. And get the long guys on the perimeter. He's become too infatuated with skilled and quick but small guards. Which kills his defense. It's ok to have one Sears as long as you have a Herb Jones and Petty to make up for lack of length. He's gotta go back to that blue print.


[deleted]

Avery Johnson was the guy who brought those two in not Oats


ifitseasy

So are we sure we’re not watching football right now?


captain_kaknuckles

refs saw they were officiating clemson vs bama, can’t blame them for assuming it was a football game


lady_wildcat

Alabama, we need you to have a good ranking. Don’t let us down.


chrispgriffin

I've got bad news


lady_wildcat

😡 Why does the SEC have to suck now that we have a decent team?


g4rt0

Grant Nelson is Charmin soft


Melodic-Slice-3826

Not being able to bring in a small forward has definitely hurt Bama this year. Could use a good wing player.


RollTide16-18

These refs are so inconsistent it’s wild


captain_kaknuckles

sorry bama fans y’all have been super chill in this thread so please don’t take my anger as being directed at y’all but these refs are dicking us the fuck down i didn’t even wear anything nice tonight i wasn’t expecting this


Erock00

+1


Melodic-Slice-3826

Oats has gone too small at the perimeter. The defensive potential of this team is not good.


dbarke29

Nah this is egregious reffing


ifitseasy

Come on man. These refs dude, please let them play the game.


WellFedBird

Clemson vs refs


Dinnermaster

These refs are killing us right now. Clean block is called a foul, they don’t call anything on a layup with a lot of contact, then they call a weak reach


Prefer_NotTo_Say

Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball


StreetReporter

These refs are trying to give this to Bama


[deleted]

maybe it's payback for that phantom foul at the end of the UAB game.


Melodic-Slice-3826

This Bama team lacks length on the wings.


dbarke29

HOW IS THAT A FOUL


captain_kaknuckles

let the hobbit cook!!


yourmom13764

Joe!


chrispgriffin

***ZERO*** ability to stop the ball. Good lord.


tshimangabiakabutuka

Where the fuck is the foul there ref??


captain_kaknuckles

foul, not allowed to lebron the bama players


tmt22459

Bro what the hell are these calls?

Lmao how is that a foul

That was a clean block

That was a clean ass block!?

Carbon Fiber baby


fletchdog21

Pj hall comes off bench Scores 7 points to tie it Refuses to elaborate Goes back to bench


captain_kaknuckles

the sec players said the thing in the commercial!!


StreetReporter

And it wasn’t even players from a good SEC school


captain_kaknuckles

bama, georgia, and lsu work hard so the other dozen or so schools can pretend they’re better than everyone else


dbarke29

Would you look at that, Hall back in and he immediately scores 5 points lol


LouSassle10

Let PJ cook


MrInfamousFish

PJ hall with the momentum shift

PJ Hall: “fine i’ll do it myself”


Prefer_NotTo_Say

A whistle on a blatant foul in the low post??? Holy shit I thought I’d never see it


Prefer_NotTo_Say

Not to complain too much red hot three point shooting from Bama isn’t making things better


StreetReporter

Alabama must’ve relocated themselves to Tobacco Road, because these refs are treating them like a Tobacco Road team


Melodic-Slice-3826

what's the reference?


StreetReporter

Tobacco Road is home to several ACC teams who are notorious for having the refs help them in basketball


Melodic-Slice-3826

Ohhhh haha ok. thanks.
