NFL”send a fearful message to Clemson today…
For most of the primary half against TCU within the Coca-Cola Field in Toronto on Saturday, Clemson Men’s Ball appeared little resemblance to the group we saw over the primary eight diversions of the season.
The Tigers appeared to twist to the Horned Frogs want to play at a excited pace, turning the ball over 10 times (28.6% of belonging), giving up 11 focuses off those turnovers and permitting 9 quick break points.
Clemson was a foul 23.1% from three-point run within the to begin with stanza.
However, some way or another, a few way the Tigers driven by one at the break.
That’s what this group does.
Anything Brad Brownell was offering at halftime, the Tigers bought and ruled the moment half on their way to a 74-66 win and 9-0 begin.
Clemson controlled the second-half tempo from the start, driving long belonging from TCU, a group that came into the diversion within the best 25 in beat, disappointing the Frogs with their defense and teach.
Let this sink in Tiger fans: On a night where one of their stars went scoreless on a 0-7 shooting night and the group shot underneath standard by and large and from three-point run, Clemson beat a beat 50 group on a unbiased court and it wasn’t near for a great parcel of the moment half.
The Tigers were too playing shorthanded, without Alex Hemenway and Jack Clark, but Brownell once once more overseen the fouls and lineups well.
Joe Girard driven the Tigers with 21 focuses, whereas P.J. Corridor included 17 and Ian Schieffelin included 14 to lead Clemson on offense.
Schieffelin and R.J. Godfrey overwhelmed the glass within the moment half, with Schieffelin wrapping up with 7 hostile bounce back and Godfrey with 3.
7 hostile bounce back for The Schieff this evening, but I’d be neglectful I’d I didn’t specify R.J. Godfrey with 10 sheets in 23 minutes, counting 3 on the hostile conclusion.
Godfrey wrapped up with 10 add up to bounce back to Schieffelin’s 9, as the Tigers outrebounded TCU by 5 for the game.
The Tigers wrapped up shooting as it were 41% from the field and 26% from three, but as has been the case through the primary nine recreations of the season, found a way to win.
We all know how the NET Rankings treated Clemson final season, but within the final 12 days the Tigers have beaten No. 14 Alabama and No. 42 Pittsburgh on the street, No. 29 South Carolina at domestic and No. 46 TCU in a unbiased setting.
Another Saturday the Tigers travel to No. 62 Memphis.
The Tigers are beyond any doubt to move up within the different surveys and rankings with this win and maybe indeed more in the event that they can oversee a street win following week in Memphis.
Consider this your neighborlyupdate that a 19 game gauntlet of ACC teams lies ahead and there will be bumps within the street.
That said, this team could be a fun observe, not at all like the trudging, unpalatably challenged Brownell groups of the past.
They have different scoring alternatives, great measure and profundity when solid.
It’s been a hell of a ride so distant, but in case Tiger fans learned anything last season, it’s for a team like Clemson college ball may be a marathon, not a sprint and each diversion things when the calendar turns to Walk and the committee commences with their hocus pocus.
