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.
