Clemson looking good from 3 to start - I can see where that Baylor matchup zone would be tough if you don’t hit outside shots; lots of length

Clemson can shoot it and they are big but Baylor does not play defense like they used to

These coaches have to hate the in-game interviews.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Big 3 at the buzzer to put Clemson up 10.

Clemson defense doesn’t seem amazing, Baylor just can’t seem to hit shots right now.

Can't imagine Baylor won't break 50.

9 double doubles in a season would be impressive for most people, but let's talk about a player that got 9 double doubles... IN A ROW.

Baylor is simply missing a ton of wide open 3's they normally make.

I'm sure if we played them they would hit 60%+ from the 3 pt line.

I like how they're not playing well under pressure, but if they could hold on the last two minutes that would be great.

Dammit Clemson don't choke this away.

The scary thing is if Baylor had hit a normal 3pt% and made their normal FT% they would be up double digits.

If we play as shitty as Baylor did there’s no doubt this Clemson team can beat us.

But I don’t see us playing that shitty.

I'm not sure why. Boswell or Love will have to stay absolutely glued to Girard, and fighting through picks isn't a strength for either.

Ballo/Hall is a basically a push. Ballo will probably get more boards but Hall should outscore and outquick him.

It's the other matchups we need to take advantage of.
