Clemson Health Issues Clemson's kind of beat up. PG Stitt is one of the best guards in the ACC and while Purnell is holding out hope for him to play 10-15 minutes today, beat writers who cover the team suggest they'll be very surprised if he goes today against MD. The Booker who starts at forward and played 37 minutes last out against BC had the flu and missed practice Thursday and Friday. He practiced yesterday but we saw in football guys who had the flu were not productive a few days afterwards. The Booker who is a reserve broke his nose in practice on Thursday and will play today wearing a mask.
I understand looking for Clemson to come back home and get cranked up of a losing streak including a game that saw them shoot only 2 for 17 from outside the arc....but I just don't know that they have the manpower to do it against a Maryland team that wasn't much in December but is rapidly improving. I got MD +5.
