1st half nothing. Get down 5-15 points to the Cards.
2nd half; Press and zone. Comeback and win or make the Cards eek out the win.

Clemson's gameplan for Today
- Thread starter KerryRhodes
- Start date
Perry played good in the 1st half but he doesn't need to be on the court in the last 10 minutes of the game. He really needs to work on his basketball IQ.
At this point, any coach that doesn't try to press the Cards when they are behind is a fool. They don't even have to be particularly good at it or anything.
Until the Cards can prove they can consistently break the press And make teams pay for using it, that should be the case. Until then the team will see the same tactics used against them over and over especially after showing such absolute panic and fear when facing it.
This is a big game for the Cards. Need to lock in the full 40. I think it's possible the Cards actually start slow in this one and hopefully rally. Early tip, still hurting I'm sure. Hopefully Clemson doesn't have enough fire power to open up any kind of significant lead.
I feel like rebounding is going to be a key stat today. How well will the team bounce back from a devastating loss after dominating the best team in the country for 75% of the game, AND how well will the team actually rebound against a team that doesn't rebound as well as the Cards from a statistical point of view.
Break it and score. I can remember the old saying about teams that pressed didn't like being pressed. This team doesn't press,but looks like they don't even try to make the prees pay for it.
Crum's teams were adept at making teams pay. Imo,it starts with a forward in the middle that has great vision to make the right pass downcourt. I don't know if we have that guy or not. Sutton and Nwora could be that guy.
I was saying that to a co worker.
Break the press and attack. Dont get across mid court and set up.
Cards get up 25 or 27 they win.
Coack K even said he thought they were going to get beat by 35. Cards gift wrapped duke a win. Still pathetic-
