Score prediction:

Miami 84
Clemson 74

Clemson beat Alabama A&M by 36 in November but they have currently lost 5 of their last 6 games. Miami is currently undefeated in December and they are looking to stay perfect for the month of December.

Now it is time to return to our difficult part of the schedule with conference play and up next is a road game against Clemson. Clemson feels like a must win game (please make sure you see the bolded & underlined word) because after Clemson we have Duke and @ UL. Starting 0-4 would be pretty bad; granted 3 of those losses were against top 5 teams.

Clemson is NOT a good team. They're 6-6 (0-2) and they've been playing pretty bad basketball recently (1-4 in their last 5 with an average loss of ~15 Points). At home, Clemson is 5-3. They score 66.9 PPG (323rd), allow 61.4 PPG (40th) and grab 33.6 RPG (344th). They're NOT a good 3PT shooting team at 32.1% (226th); not that this matters because we seem to allow numerous teams to have pretty good games.

RPI: 148th (https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/rpi-ranking/rpi-rating-by-team)

BPI: 86th (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/overview/page/2)

SOS: 85th

NET: 111th (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings)

Notable Win(s): TCU (8-3) by 2 points in OT (game was at a neutral site).

Notable Losses (both at home): Yale (10-3) by 9 points and South Carolina (8-4) by 13 points.

Players to Watch: Aamir Simms is a 6'8 junior forward. He averages 12.6 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.2 SPG and 36.1% from 3PT. Tevin Mack is a 6'6 senior guard and 2x transfer (UT and Bama). He is a good shooter and pretty good rebounder. He averages 11.2 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 1.2 APG, 1.3 SPG and 36.7% 3PT.

Spread: TBD

I was actually looking beyond seeing Isaiah shoot the ball. I was glad to see Anthony Walker and Keith Stone practicing. Especially since Anthony did not get any playing time against Temple and very minimal time against Coppin St. Too many kids would have used those two games to enter the transfer portal. Keith Stone left the Coppin State game and I wanted to be sure he was not hurt.

Coach L is not going to play a guy because he is afraid he is going to hit the transfer pool mid way through his Freshman year, nor should he.
