JE mentioned at the beginning of the game that Clemson was going with a smaller lineup. I guess they changed it somewhere along the line, but I don't understand why coaches keep trying to match our lineup. We're only starting 5 guards out of necessity. For the other team to go small plays right into our hands. G-W did it too.

The way we are playing zone defense, opponents have had a hard time taking advantage of sized mismatches on offense, and if you are a team that lives and dies with man to man defense, it's really tough to expect a big man to guard Smitty or Brolin full court.

Thanks to all you guys for updating during this game....www.m.flamefans.com kept me sane during a banquet....thanks again


Great game, I think we may have learned a lesson we either need to really really try and work on our half court offense or when we have a lead dont try to kill the clock but stick with what got us there...b/c us eating away at the clock just didnt seem to be working for us.

I was just checking up on Depaul and Saint Louis, and I really think we can take them. Neither of them are as good as Clemson. Sure it will be a tough test, but both schools will more than likely be on winter break so there will be smaller crowds.

Sounds like another truly amazing performance from the boys in almost pulling off a MAJOR upset. Some folks need to remember that most of us thought this team would be sorta weak this year. I think UVA, GMU, and W&M wins hove clouded some folks expectations. The most amazing thing is that we WILL be very competetive in the conference and will mature throughout the year and maybe give someone a scare if we make it to the Dance.

Go Flames! All I can say is WOW! This is going to be a fun ride for the next few years!

DePaul should have a decent crowd despite it being christmas break, but my church is close to there and they are trying to hype up the game to our congregation to go support Liberty. I think we can take them as well but it will be a close game.

What an amazing game.....it was deff worth the 6 hr drive from Lynchburg to Clemson. I sat next to Dell Curry and Carter's dad the whole game it was amazing! Bill Weaver and Floyd really impressed me this game and the Clemson fans were hilarious how bad they were heckling Seth......I got some good pics if anyone wants me to put em up.

We'll get next year in the Vines! FAN THE FLAMES!

Yea there weren't many recent ones lol......I will say that everyone there (staff, announcers, and students) were so nice. I have visited alot of campuses and this was one of the nicest environments.

Vitale just mentioned Clemson barely getting by "Liberty and diaper dandy Seth Curry" during the Clemson @ UNC game. The last time I heard him mention us during a game he was saying someone was "as bad as Liberty".
