Official game day thread- Duke vs Clemson

[AlanInNJ]

I was on a plane and missed the game. I watched highlights this morning. The loss doesn’t bother me that much. I really didn’t want to be entering the tourney on a 24 game win streak anyway.

Lots of good comments here. I am not among those on the ledge. Winning out is realistic and I think we get a 1 seed if we do.

If I’m not mistaken in all three losses against old tough teams we were tied with under a minute left. Flagg is going to learn from the experiences and pull thru for us in the tourney. That slip is as just a freak accent and those things happen. He was in position to make a relatively easy shot to send it to overtime.

Next.

I get some of the complaints about the officiating. But, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. We were on the road, in a hostile environment, playing a team that was really wanting to prove themselves.

We just didn’t close the deal. Clemson shot 59% from the field, and out rebounded Duke 36-23.

To win a championship, that’s unacceptable.

Especially when you’re the tallest team in the country . We will see them again and hopefully the team is 100 percent

I'm not a "this was a good loss" type person, losing sucks no matter what. However, we had Gillis out, Cooper was battling the flu, Clemson shot lights out the whole game, we were severely outrebounded, and we still had a chance to win the game. Hopefully this loss fuels us for the rest of the season.

Oh and we are still comfortably a 1-seed. Let's finish out the regular season without another loss and then the ACC tournament won't even matter, we will be a 1 seed no matter what. Another loss and things could be a bit dicey.
