Clemson 12/21 3:00 ESPN

CWM finally made 2 good decisions. He sat Shaun& Kerr. Horrible first half coaching. This has to end. 18 points in the first half 🤪

Do u believe it was just mental?

Nope. Many factors- Clemson has 2nd half issues
with big leads apparently, Day Day and Thiam hit some
shots which helps the defense, and there were some
adjustments made (as delineated by SEDZ) which fostered
the come back, imo.

what caused the transition defense playing quite well -- it wasn't part of the offensive scheme. Perhaps the hustle caused some of Clemson's 2nd half issues -- like no easy shots and their offense's tempo out of whack. Why do you suppose they ran hard in the second half? Well all but one ---- Did Buck Harris running set the tempo for the team? Many complained his lack of stats, but stats only tell the obvious and often just what the eye can see --- A team just doesn't turn it on without someone setting the pace. What caused him to hustle is what I am wondering. Did he see a couple who generally play his position get benched?

by benching Shon not only did the offense improve, but the defense and team toughness increased dramatically. I am all for bringing him along a little slower, but I think he was promised pt for signing. I would hope that CWM will scheme for Shon's strengths as jacking up 3s is not his forte. My fear he is portal bound. With JJ, there were several really bad decisions with his passing and then reactions. While he is just coming back, this is his third year. I hope though he still keeps passing with some solid coaching and not go back to his old habits. I can live with the mistakes against Alabama State but yesterday was a big time game. What else do the Cats have though. Tillery is not ready, and Kerr isn't any real help now. The Cats are going to see some big, quick and smart guards in Houston. It is time to step up. The question is what took CWM so long in benching the two. Did Roy Williams offer suggestions?

PS with the two on the bench instead of jacking up clunkers, it gave Day Day the opportunity to shoot. He came out of his slump against Alabama state and was up to the task. he just couldn't shoot that much when others were.

Agree with above. You can see it in his body language.Abaev thinks he is too cool for school Either that or he is incapable of moving quickly with purpose Sit his butt down and send the message that his type of attitude is unacceptable.As for Krissa...he's just an erratic wildman.Should get limited PT. Sort of like a goon in hockey. Keep up the positive vibes.Either we improve and actually win a few or the season is a total loss and CWM is gone. Its good either way!
