One challenge remains in the regular season for the Syracuse basketball squad. My message is don’t judge a book by its’ cover vs the Clemson Tigers on Saturday.
On paper, the Tigers appear to be a wounded animal. Clemson is sub .500 in the ACC at 8-9 and sits at just 18-12 overall on the season. But there’s nothing worse than a cornered wounded animal that has nothing to lose.
In their latest contest vs Notre Dame, the Irish missed a free throw with three seconds left and Clemson kept their at-large hopes alive.
When we take a gander at the latest Joe Lunardi Bracketology he has Clemson quite literally as the first team out, in other words, the 69th team of 68 possible teams in the NCAA tournament.
