Each weekday, our college hoops experts discuss the biggest issues, trends and themes in college basketball.
1. Most likely to lose on Wednesday: SMU, Duke, Oklahoma or Villanova?
Andy Katz: Duke. Clemson is playing its best basketball of the season. While Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville isn't Littlejohn Coliseum (it's undergoing renovations), the Tigers will still be a tough out. A Clemson win could suddenly jump the Tigers into the NCAA bubble conversation -- something that seemed a bit far fetched in the preseason.
Eamonn Brennan: Clemson's 3-1 ACC start has been genuinely impressive; the win at Syracuse (which is struggling, sure, but the Carrier Dome is never an easy place to win) might be even more so than Sunday's home win over Louisville.
