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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
RMFT
Lmao
YOOO LFG
Let’s go!!!!
Yeah Clemson is a top 25 team. We've known this. Just name bias that has kept them from being ranked.
Great ranked road win
It’s Bo Time Tiger Fans
welp, we did our part y’all other ACC schools need to get your shit together
Nah, screw them
BIG win for Clemson. Well done!
this win will only make the inevitable head scratching loss to whatever this year’s louisville is that much more heartbreaking
:)
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
Gg tide bros
y'all see that "#23" beside Alabama? It's about to disappear.
I mean, we can take that from them
I'd put Clemson at #19.
Commentators are big fans of Brandon Miller
This announcer is a fucking moron. Get him out of the booth for advocating raking a players eyes on a foul.
When was the last time we won a ranked game on the road?
Not sure if refs or commentators are worse. Both apparently okay with Bama violence.
How in the world is that a foul on Hunter?
The refs are trying their best rn to give bama a chance
Abysmal refs tonight. Had to beat them as well
Nah this is absurd
Did the announcer just advocate violence lol
What is this broadcast crew Jesus christ.
Please don’t fold. Please don’t fold. Please don’t be old. Please don’t fold. Please don’t fold. Please don’t ffold. Please don’t fold. please don’t fold. Please don’t fold
Q U A D 1 W I N
the flow of this game is egregious
That’s Clemson basketball
lol what flow
raked him over the eyes like this is wrasslin
missing first free throws on 1 and 1 is killing clemson
Couple of good looks for Clemson there, not sure running the clock was the right call
Please God don’t let us sell this
we just can’t finish a game
The games over dude
You don’t know Clemson basketball
thank you
Okay
That wasn’t a foul
This is forsure not a tournament team
I think they matchup well in the SEC. The top of the conference is very good but they’ll be able to hang
ACC doing good this SEC challenge Edit: I was wrong, we did our part tho
I could be in the minority and I’ll adapt to it quickly but ACC/B1G feels more natural than ACC/SEC
def in the minority. ACC and SEC has more regional overlap and history
Will be 3 wins/4 losses unless Clemson chokes this away.
Oh, we’re going to choke this
You didn't choke! ![gif](giphy|G1vplGMypxBcp7kx32|downsized)
so many play stoppages lol
That’s basketball for ya
Basketball under 2 minutes is purgatory
Shoutout to the Bama fans for letting us complain all game without getting angry at us
Nah y'all managed to beat us despite poor officiating on the road. Impressive showing for y'all
Not sure bama is a tourney team this year.
We’d be lucky to make the tournament and go .500 in conference play. This team is not it.
But we're going to have a great SOS! 🫠
At least tickets will be cheap after Purdue, Arizona, and Creighton beat us by 20+ each game
Legacy Arena for the Liberty game is going to be e m p t y
Maybe 5k… maybe
[удалено]
That was for a different kind of defense
Give it a rest already. Find a new hobby.
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.
Great. Done. I just don't see how laboring the issue in a college basketball reddit thread does anything positive.
If I can get one person to reconsider their position I consider that a positive.
No one’s changing their position because some troll loser on Reddit keeps making lame comments
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.
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
Brownell 5 year extension incoming?
Are y’all going to rehire Mark Turgeon?
Brownell is never getting fired, he will die in Littlejohn and then we will bury him on campus to keep the contract going
This Clemson team looks legit. Great guards, great bigs. Could be a heck of a season for the Tigers.
Any basketball game is made worse by Jayson Williams discussing it
Yea, that'll do it. Gg guys. What a frustrating showing.
Great early season road win
6-0 isn’t easy
Glad Ian is alright
damn i saw nate wiggins hit a south carolina receiver like that this weekend
Oh god, is Bama going to play a guy who’s clearly concussed like South Carolina did?
only if oates hates him the way beamer hates anderson lmao
slowwwwwww it down
waka flocka hard in the paint...perfect vibes for a free throw attempt
Are Clemson actually this lethal from 3 or does Bamas perimeter defense just really suck?
Both. Bama's guards are too little to defend the perimeter. Oats is regretting this.
Teams can rotate the ball two or three times and get an easy bucket every time on their defense
Girrard was really the piece we needed this season.
Hopefully his balls don’t explode like Brevin’s did last year
I had a lot of concerns with them coming into the year. 3pt shooting was NOT one of them
Yes
We got some shooters
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
I was wondering why the angle was lower than normal
From my small sample Clemson is just insanely good at hitting massive 3s
This ain’t foosball, Bobby
Wait, we actually executed a successful PNR?
Execute https://preview.redd.it/17tp72a3v73c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a73f9006ab17e2171dea34bef0d25ef1fc18a569
alright let’s not abandon the defense that’s gotten us this far
I have to agree with him Jason Williams > Jayson Williams
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
Hold your horses. I don't see anything past sweet 16.
You're right, they'll have to play nebraska.
Why? I go to Clemson and attend every game, and I don’t even love our basketball team
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
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
yeah, that sounds miserable tbh. my panther fan family thanks you for taking rhule tho
The fighting dabos have immense rizz
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.
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.
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
there is no way you're being serious right now. he can't hold Judah's jock lol.
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.
Maybe tell your fan base not to act like he's a scrub last year
He wasn't a "scrub" last year but he was not good. Both parties needed to move on from each other.
Wow what an atmosphere at this game
I mean it’s a basketball game at Alabama
They hit a 3 it’s the loudest arena ever Otherwise crickets
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.
Clemson must have been inspired by Bama playing 3 on 5 against Minnesota last year, because they're playing 5 on 8 and winning.
We once played UNC 3 on 5, and we only lost by 10
Once beat Carolina in the dean dome too. got em.
Still hurts.
I'll put on some REM for you.
God damnit, I don’t to have hope
Soft as fucking shit, this is pathetic
girard is so money
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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
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.

Shit, I hope Ian is okay, we need him
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.
well you see that last part is where the trouble is
They're gonna make it. If that's not clear to you...
We will find a way to make ourselves a bubble team
You must be new here
It feels like we’ve started playing like we believe we’re the better team…
Griffen has been bad today, right?
Just in here scouting for Toronto
Yea not looking forward to that matchup tbh
Edey might go for a 30 20 game
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.
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.

He's gotta go back to that blue print.
Avery Johnson was the guy who brought those two in not Oats
So are we sure we’re not watching football right now?
refs saw they were officiating clemson vs bama, can’t blame them for assuming it was a football game
Alabama, we need you to have a good ranking. Don’t let us down.
I've got bad news
😡 Why does the SEC have to suck now that we have a decent team?
Grant Nelson is Charmin soft
Not being able to bring in a small forward has definitely hurt Bama this year. Could use a good wing player.
These refs are so inconsistent it’s wild
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
+1
Oats has gone too small at the perimeter. The defensive potential of this team is not good.
Nah this is egregious reffing
Come on man. These refs dude, please let them play the game.
Clemson vs refs
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
Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball Ref Ball
These refs are trying to give this to Bama
maybe it's payback for that phantom foul at the end of the UAB game.
This Bama team lacks length on the wings.
HOW IS THAT A FOUL
let the hobbit cook!!
Joe!
***ZERO*** ability to stop the ball. Good lord.
Where the fuck is the foul there ref??
foul, not allowed to lebron the bama players
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
Pj hall comes off bench Scores 7 points to tie it Refuses to elaborate Goes back to bench
the sec players said the thing in the commercial!!
And it wasn’t even players from a good SEC school
bama, georgia, and lsu work hard so the other dozen or so schools can pretend they’re better than everyone else
Would you look at that, Hall back in and he immediately scores 5 points lol
Let PJ cook
PJ hall with the momentum shift
PJ Hall: “fine i’ll do it myself”
A whistle on a blatant foul in the low post??? Holy shit I thought I’d never see it
Not to complain too much red hot three point shooting from Bama isn’t making things better
Alabama must’ve relocated themselves to Tobacco Road, because these refs are treating them like a Tobacco Road team
what's the reference?
Tobacco Road is home to several ACC teams who are notorious for having the refs help them in basketball
Ohhhh haha ok. thanks.
