Clemson?!?

Yuck. For those who saw the game, no need to elaborate. For those who didn't:

Maryland was terrible. They couldn't shoot, the had no interior game to speak of on offense or defense, they allowed 50% shooting and were out-rebounded. They looked tired and out-of-sync. The lone bright spot was backup point guard Sterling Ledbetter, who demonstrated some great driving and scoring moves that should serve the Terps well when Gilchrist isn't in the game for whatever reason. Clemson beat MD for the first time since 1997.

To say this team needs more consistency is probably a gross understatement. This is especially true in the Terps' interior game, which disappears completely at times. Over-reliance on your guards and your small forward for all of the scoring isn't the best basketball strategy; when they have an bad shooting night, you lose.
