Clemson looked pretty good in their last 2 games. Miami not so much. Miami is farther down in ACC standings and almost 40 spots lower in NET (and probably most other metrics, but I haven't checked those). We're at home, favored.
This is one of those games where we stumble, it seems more often than not, and that goes on to snowball multiple losses late in the year and keep us out. And the excuses are shoveled in to bury the season.
Let's hope that does NOT happen this year, and the team keeps on winning! Please let me see a Clemson Final 4 before it's all over!
