Man coop is really struggling tonight.

Man coop is really struggling tonight.

Dickie V jinxed him.

 

[Kjeffrey]

He's not as good as the two guys in front of him?

Yes but Maluach has not been good tonight.

Curious to see if Coop bails us out

 

[SouthernDukie]

Thus far, this is the worst I've seen Coop during the win streak. And I'm not just talking about his scoring. He's been taken advantage of underneath a lot tonight. And a few "iffy" decisions in the passing game. He's just off his game tonight.

Rough game, Clemson’s plan. Working because Flagg’s not right, foul trouble for 3 of our starters, and Gillis missing. Not to mention inspired play by Lakhin..

 

[smythe13]

Proctor carrying Duke, and to a lesser extent Kon, who has 3 fouls. Clemson D has Duke flummoxed.

 

[dukechem]

Clemson still shooting 65%. Not regressing to the mean

 

[SouthernDukie]

Clemson playing serious bully-ball tonight. Man-man, Coop and Kon have been frustrated by it.

 

[smythe13]

The unit in now with Proctor, James, Kon, Flagg, and Brown need to make a push.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Can't buy a bucket

Something I would like to see us do is when Evans come in is for us to run a set play for him. Too many times he comes in and out without actually getting a touch.

 

[SouthernDukie]

We might be going down tonight. Everything going Clemson's way. Their bigs are killing us.

 

[dustin8131]

Yep that's what happens when you got folks like your superstar standing around on rebounds.

 

[simplyluvin]

In really big trouble now and we are tired.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Would be a heck of a comeback if they can. Not impossible but nothing going right, right now.

 

[stevoflurane]

This is me being crotchety but how are you allowed to turn the lights off during a time out? Shouldn’t we be able to see in our huddle?

Old school hoops: if you can't beat us fair, beat us up.

[rolm]

Rebounding killing us on both ends.

 

[Sparky2004]

Coop is clearly ill. No Gillis, Foster unplayable for some reason, Maluach looking lost- we only win if Kon, Tyrese, Sion, and Evans can hit a ton of threes. We aren’t able to get open second half.
