Analysis:

Kansas kind of lives and dies by the three. For Clemson to have a chance in this one, the Tigers will need to hit some timely shots and keep the Jayhawks from getting hot.

To do that, you need to make them uncomfortable. That means playing passionate defense and confidently playing offense.

This Jayhawk team is really good, but they’re not unbeatable. Clemson basketball needs to take advantage of some of those weaknesses and take control of the tempo.

Prediction:

I’m doing a little reverse psychology here. I’m going to take Kansas and hope with every fiber of my being that I’m wrong.

Kansas 76, Clemson 71

I think it will be a close game throughout, but the Jayhawks find a way to edge out our Tigers.
