Why give yourselves more chances to lose when it doesn't really make much difference. Especially for a program like Clemson where it was never common to win your early season games, the importance of just winning basketball games can not be discounted. Get better in the ACC, let the rest of it sort itself out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-4786941323505238322007-12-12T12:03:00.000-05:002007-12-12T12:03:00.000-05:00New school, same old Oliver Purnell.

While Charlotte has dropped a gimme to Monmouth, they have Beat Wake, SIU and Davidson and lost a close one to GTech. <BR/>Charlotte *may* sneak into NCAA tournament contention by the end of the A-10 season. <BR/>That Clemson schedule isn't Temple or Gonzaga-esque, but it's not terrible (like last year). <BR/><BR/>Although their next game is against PR-Mayasomethinginspanish.

But your point is a good one nonetheless...Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-65255847455887738662007-12-11T07:44:00.000-05:002007-12-11T07:44:00.000-05:00Hey, that ECU team has already upset NC State.

They're listed as ODU. Fixed it, thanks.Vegas Watchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353166004125421683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-7128158148318044052007-12-11T02:06:00.000-05:002007-12-11T02:06:00.000-05:00last year, they played one tournament team (old dominion) before january.matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06748000778014148057noreply@blogger.com
