One of the reasons I like Clemson right now

I like blue-collar basketball teams: hard-working, no-nonsense, hard rebounding, smothering half-court defense - that sort of stuff. Here is what Lindy's said about this year's Clemson team:

"Clemson is a hard-working, middle-class everyman. It's not the easiest way to win games in the ACC, but coach Brad Brownell is pulling it off admirably."

With all those blue-blood teams with one-and-done players, it is fun to root for a team that brings their lunch pail.
