Clemson Tigers men's basketball

Think that they're gonna be playing a little bit faster this season.

Then Clemson, always a team that they like to play very slow, very controlled under Brad Brownell.

336th in the country in terms of total possessions per game.

With regards to the offense in the conference, it was very much a divide between the haves and the have-nots.

And Florida State is looking to be able to instill that a little bit more.

Florida State, they were 49th in the country in terms of turnovers generated on a per possession basis.

Then you have a team like Clemson that was about 122nd.

So a lot of these teams not gonna go out there, be overly rambunctious in terms of generating those turnovers.

This tier comprises...

UNC Clemson, NC state, Virginia tech and SMU.

And I, I have a couple more that, you know, the next tier is kind of also in this group because again, the tournament is expanding, but I have Carolina top of this tier and I'll just, I'll give the floor to you.

Do you think that's fair? I mean, there's still the fifth.

Sure.

All right.

My next team is Clemson.

And this is a, just a, my annual right that I do where I just pay respect to Brad Brown Allen, how his teams are basically never bad.

You're taking inventory as I am.

To get to 44 at-large berths, unless we're going to see the ACC get 10, which I don't think is going to happen, unless we're seeing the Big 12 get 10, where I'm going to wait and see approach, I think there's a legitimate chance for... for the sec to be in a situation where it could get a dozen teams into the ncaa tournament and if you're going to have a dozen teams in the mix for the ncaa tournament you are getting nothing but a pez dispenser for quad one wins in your schedule in league play non-conference games to keep an eye on for all miss the primary ones are going to be in the maui invitational Rebels open up against Brad Brownell and Clemson, and then if they win, could get a crack at BYU.

So there will be opportunities for Ole Miss to move the needle there in Maui in November.

Let's wrap right now with this team as we're looking at five teams that could overachieve during the 26-27 college basketball season, and it's a coach that is in a new spot.

Let's go to Q3.

Clemson at home, lost.

Appalachian State at home, lost.

Nevada, that's a conference game, but they lost.

If I look at

Fresno State's schedule, there are, in my opinion, a number of winnable games in this schedule that I think...

Nevada, you know, like, I mean, I guess that's a conference game, but like Clemson at home is definitely like you would expect at Grambling.

They're 4-18 in my mind because their team underperformed massively.

I'm your host, Bob Rathbun, and as always, we are presented by Jersey Mike's.

Coming up on the podcast this week, a conversation with our sharpshooter, Terrence Oglesby, the former Clemson Tiger and current...

ESPN and Field of 68 college basketball analyst will talk about the new season coming up and his career.

But first, our weekly news and notes.

Give me a good elliptical and a corner three, and I'm good to go for you.

I love it.

Well, for those of you who do not know, T.O. was a tremendous sharpshooter with the Clemson Tigers and an unbelievable high school career prior to that.

And in Cleveland, Tennessee, and of course, a pro career that, you know, you scratched out what a good.
