Projected 2013-14 Lineup: Clemson Tigers

He’s got a transfer, a couple of injury redshirts coming back into play and two decent freshmen as well. His two stars are gone and of the players coming back, only two started at least 25 games...

Devin Booker makes statement in front of Michigan coaches
Devin Booker, a five-star 2014 guard prospect being heavily recruited by Michigan, has heard the knock on him and his Moss Point teammates. The teams up north in Jackson say that Moss Point doesn’t play anyone. They say Booker may be good, but just wait until he plays the competition around the capital city.
On Monday, that’s just what Booker did. The Grand Rapids native led...
ACC Bubble Analysis for January 21, 2013
Another edition of our bubble analysis. With only 7 weeks remaining until selection Sunday, as many as 8 ACC teams still have a shot at what I think will end up being 5-6 ACC bids.
In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even more...

Clemson throws alley-oop on inbounds play
The Clemson Tigers took on Wake Forest tonight in an ACC college hoops matchup that was pretty uneventful, except for one very spectacular play. Clemson inbounded the ball from the sideline and Devin Booker came off a well set back screen and threw down a perfectly placed alley-oop from teammate Rod Hall. Very Lob City-esque.

Previewing Virginia at Clemson
Whoops. The Hoos tripped and fell flat on their face in Winston-Salem, dashing any thoughts of this being an easy stretch of the schedule. There is no easy stretch of the schedule. This is Virginia - there is no easy anything. We're still the team that gets recalled whenever Chaminade pulls within 15 points of an opponent in the second half of a Maui InvitationalÂ...
Brownell taking it slow with young Tigers
DURHAM, NC UConn 3.
That was written on a marker board and held up by Clemson assistant coach Dick Bender so the Tigers would know what set play to run on offense Tuesday night at Duke. Rarely did the plays work, at least in the first half. But that a team coached by Brad Brownell ran so many sets speaks volumes about where the Tigers are in their coaches mind.
