Opinion | After the final scoreboard goes dark, what endures are friendships, family, loyalty, shared struggles, and lessons about teamwork. https://t.co/hkIUEXfjSM
2012-2013...top 8 guys all from the Upstate. Straight to #1 NJCAA team in the country. Boiling Springs, Chesnee, SCA, TL Hanna, Hillcrest, Broome, Westside, Chapman all represented!!!
Ben Johnson was key to all-local rotation for a Spartanburg Methodist team that reached No. 1 in the country with a 30-0 record in 1995-96 and finished third under coach Jeff Brookman at the JUCO national tournament in Kansas. Boiling Springs product could really shoot the 3.
“I just think we have really good daily habits at Clemson Basketball. I think we work, we’re unselfish, we care about each other and we put team first.”
Great high school teams aren't built on highlight plays or viral moments.
They're built in empty gyms at 6 AM, on the 10th sprint of conditioning, and in the selfless decision to pass it up for a teammate's open shot.
The grind is unsexy, but it wins every time. --- 2
If you haven't worked on it during practice then yelling and screaming during the game to get your players to do something is not going to work very well!
To be a great team, every team member must give and also give up something. Commitment cost you but what you receive in return is so much greater. https://t.co/4hNpPlsruF
If someone sees you play a year from today, would they see any REAL difference? If not, you really need to evaluate your daily habits & off season work outs. Please don’t spend your entire off season doing the same thing you did last year & then come back the same player! Again!
If watching college basketball this past week has done anything, it should reaffirm your belief that efficiency and 3pt shooting is imperative to win in March. Below are the eFG % for each team in D1 and D2.
Lander 55%
Gannon 52.4%
Nova Southeastern 55.1%
Oklahoma Baptist 51.8%
Michigan 58.5%
Arizona 57%
Illinois 57%
UConn 53%
The lowest is Gannon who has shot over 1k 3s this year and made 9 per game, and OBU who shoots the 3 at almost 36% on the season. If they can’t make them as well, just shoot more.
Players if you want a BIG role on a team that plays late in March and April, be efficient and be able to SHOOT!

Best thing about watching the Final Four...shooters coming off staggers,off flares,set back screens,moving and involved. I am biased I was a 3 pt shot maker. I hit 200 of my 266 made 3s off a simple bump of the flex screen. @DipMetress 3pt shooters make offense easy for everyone
