Clemson at Miami at 2 pm on Fox Sports South

I love the tempo of the game right now plus Clemson has gone cold shooting the basketball.

That's what it looks like when a full back meets a linebacker in the hole

People complain about Miami recruiting but the guys the staff actually get are really good players.

Cross is one **** of a player. Not as athletic as Timberlake, but a more mature finished product.

 

[scane]

You can really see, with the extra game time early in the season, how much further along Cross is than Timberlake.

The guards at least

He never makes the wrong play

The difference is the maturity and decision making. Cross seems to always make the right play whereas Timberlake is trying to excel on athleticism alone.

Athleticism alone doesn't work at this level. Even Coach L admitted its going to take time for Timberlake to figure this out

Proud of the teams effort. We are a good team when healthy.

 

[gordonsolie]

Much better defensive effort than against VT. Beverly may not be able to shoot the ball worth a ****, but he's a big asset on defense.

 

[Consigliere]

Effort and energy and we got this one.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

I remember when people on this site wanted players to stop shooting 3s.

Currently 6-11 from 3.

Where is Brooks?

Bad foul by Timberlake

A bit of fallback here. Let's Spring Forward!

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Miami leads 42-41 with 15:42 left in the second half.

Smoove by Beverly.

Another assist, another made 3.
