Clemson has a winning record since losing Donte Grantham and they've been impressive even in the losses. One came at Florida State in overtime, one came to Duke by nine but was close all the way. One was at Virginia Tech by seven, one was at Syracuse by three and the last was to Virginia in the ACC Tournament by six points. In addition, the Tigers were without Shelton Mitchell in the games against Duke and Virginia Tech and were in both of those contests. Now this under-the-radar team has been sensational in the tourney, topping a good New Mexico State squad (79-68) in the first round, then crushing Auburn (84-53) the last game as an underdog. Clemson tallied nine offensive rebounds, four steals, six blocks and grabbed 41 defensive rebounds. The Tigers have covered seven straight non-conference games. Clemson is peaking at the right time and is a dog to a Kansas team that has flaws. It's not a deep Jayhawks' rotation, the frontcourt doesn't have much depth, and they are not a great rebounding team. Kansas' 7-foot sophomore Udoka Azubuike is still battling a knee injury, playing 22 and 3 minutes the last two contests. They come off an 83-79 close win over Seton Hall, failing to cover while getting outrebounded, including 15-9 on the offensive glass. Play Clemson.
