Cajuns and Clemson are playing on Watch ESPN right now

Grantham and Thomas are dominating. Cajuns playing dumb as frick though. Not boxing out, getting beat on cuts, and leaving three point shooters wide open. Just an ugly performance. Clemson looks like they can give people trouble this year in the ACC.

Hey that’s a big win. Those guys beat the pulp outta Indiana


Especially now that the team needed to redevelop and finds its identity post-Jalen Harris. He won’t be a huge loss. The guy was a volume scorer with horrible shot selection. Sure he was averaging 15 points a game, but he was a ball hog that often killed our momentum with a horrendous street ball possession.
