It could very well happen. But, that's not what I'm going to predict. I see Tech as a fragile, schizophrenic team. Obviously they will be very strong in the paint. They have good quickness on the perimeter but they lack the ideal combination of size and athleticism on the wings, which will hurt them defensively.
Depth is iffy at best.
They will beat some of the better teams in the conference, and lose to the worst. I don't see this team being able to jell other than for brief periods. When the dust clears, the Wreck will be in seventh place with 5 - 7 wins and a NIT invitation. Last year's Clemson Tigers were one of the league's most experienced teams, but finished tied for seventh place. Following is last year's league standings compared to returning minutes.
