Just fucking enough, Purnell. Yes, I’m happy we made it to the NCAA Tournament 3 years in a row, but I’m overwhelmingly pissed at another absolutely pathetic showing in the postseason. Admittedly this was another matchup where we faced a seed perhaps a bit better than advertised (Villanova being underranked two years ago comes to mind), but the Tigers looked completely inept at ballhandling throughout the game and rushed a bunch of shit shots to the basket in the latter end of the 2nd half. I’d just love to see Purnell get angry at the team, or accurately prepare them for postseason play, or draw up some effective offensive plays under pressure, or WIN A FUCKING POSTSEASON GAME. As for me, I don’t see what’s there to give a shit about next time Clemson basketball season rolls around, you know it’s just going to end in flailing ineptitude.

Clemson (21-10, 9-7) takes on Missouri (22-10, 10-6 Big 12)at 2:35 PM today, and a lot of the talk is about Clemson’s advantage inside with Trevor Booker. Tigernet writes that Clemson is pretty confident in the Booker factor, with Mizzou not having a player over 6′-9″ being a major factor in the presumed advantage. The article also mentions that Missouri head coach Mike Anderson has experience with Booker, having coached him over the summer in the World University Games. Anderson surely knows what to expect from Booker.
Oliver Purnell is still trying to get the monkey off his back and get his first NCAA Tournament win in five tries. The team has stated that there’s a lot of palpable pressure on them to get that big first victory, but I think this is the game where OP notches a victory.
