Clay will never have a chance until they get rid of Marcum. He has choked in the last two regions and is not smart enough to ever win the region. Everyone in the building except him knew that he blew it last year when Clay had an 8 point lead with under 4 minutes, and Marcum decides to come out and chase carson around allowing him to break down the defense. Even after wathcing the film later, Marcum is too dumb to realize what happened. He did the same thing against Corbin the year before by trying to come out and pressure Freemon. Freemon would penetrate and either score or dish it out for a 3 , and Marcum was not smart enough to change his defense.
