Hawks totally out of sync on offense. Only saving grace is that Clemson is too.

Once Clemson figures out they can score down low routinely, this is going to be a closer game.

Don't mind Combs forcing that action.

Especially when he hasn't missed a shot (so far)

Banks has stretches where he looks like he's never played basketball before in his life. Or has the attention span of a goldfish. A previous pass nearly hit him in the face because he wasn't paying attention.

We let them back us down in the paint and no one comes to double and make them pass out.
