With just a 5 for 24 night from 3 pt range! But Ukraine must

have a very small team, if we doubled them up on the boards.

Rebounding is more about position than it is size. Yes, taller players don’t have as far to jump, but if you anticipate where the ball is going well and get position, size becomes less relevant.

Dude, size converts to longer arms and the ability to make first contact.
Like you said, there are other factors, but size and hustle are the only two that matter. If the bigger guy can hustle as much as the little guy, he will dominate the boards.

Must mention the great team leadership by Aamir Simms!

Congrats to our gold medal winning Tigers!

check out the Ukraine box score, every guy on the team has a last name that ends in either "enko" or "ov".

Outstanding achievement for the USA and Clemson!!!! Great way to kick off the 2019-20 sports season. It’s going to be an epic sports year for our Tigers!

Looking at the box score of the Ukrainian players


Jul 11, 2019, 5:42 PM

I'd hate to have to call one of their games as a play-by-play announcer.

I think this is pretty cool. USA hasn't won this in 4 years yet no coverage on espn NCAA basketball page. Not sure how the team is picked or the talent but USA and Clemson go together like bourbon and ice. I enjoyed it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Great for Tigers and USA! I am amazed at....


Jul 11, 2019, 6:21 PM

the overall stats per game. Not a single player dominated every game which is unusual. Every game someone got hot and played well but it was a different player every game. I think this bodes well for CBB and the team for the upcoming season. It woukd make me nervous if it was Mack scoring 25+ every game.

Makes me think, if we can stay healthy, CBB might save his job for another season but might make the Tourney too. Better as a team vs a single scorer for sure!

If Brad can somehow mesh another overachieving team together to put our Tigers into the NCAAT, this season could be the steppingstone to greatness in Clemson basketball.

I don't want to get too far ahead of reality, but within 5 years the entire landscape of ACC basketball will be changed as ALL the legends retire. If Brownell survives that long, he and Tony Bennett will be the deans of coaches in the ACC.

You do know that ice weakens bourbon.

We all get your point but you didn’t hit the bullseye with it.

Just sayin’.

Congratulations - Tigers !! A huge win - and a great great tournament!!

If people were as good as their obituary - and products were as good as advertised - this would truly be a wonderful world !!


Wow..beat this same team earlier by only 1 point!


Jul 11, 2019, 6:47 PM

Team must have been motivated to win 2nd time by so many points!

Called: a Championship!

Think you're right on the motivation - LBB... Plus - they have played several games together as a team now - so think they are gelling.. -;)
