Yes.. my team has already won 18 games and January isn’t over yet. They have done that with key players out of the lineup for many of the wins. Is that posstive enough for you .. fan?

Others have corrected you so I won't pile on.
The Loyola Chicago loss was a terrible loss (as was the USC loss) and both are killing us in the power ratings.
If you are worried that it means that maybe we aren't as good as our record... don't worry. I'm almost sixty and I have never watched a Clemson basketball team that gave me this much confidence at the end of games.
If you are worried that the losses will hurt us in NCAA Tournament seeding... well, if we lose many more games it absolutely will hurt us. With the ACC the worst I have ever seen it, bad non-con losses don't help. But if we keep winning ballgames, this will all take care of itself.

Those losses were bad, but the thing really killing our ranking is the lack of any big big wins to counter-balance those losses. We have just not played anyone highly ranked to wipe off those blemishes.

One positive is if we would have lost by 32 I’m pretty sure it would have given us a dreaded Quad 5 loss.

Well yes it was a bad loss for sure but it also was 2 months ago. This team has greatly improved from then. Our boys control their own destiny. Keep winning and it will all work out in the end.

Ok, OK, OK. Thanks to those who corrected me. I see it was an 18 point loss to Loyola Chicago. And no, I'm not a coot, a season ticket holder actually. I really like our team and still just trying to make sense of that loss to a team that has only won 7 or 8 games I believe. Maybe the best answer I've received is that it was 2 months ago. Maybe the team has really jelled since then. Maybe Hall has since gotten over nagging injuries. I'm as excited as anybody to see how well this team will do the rest of the way.

CBB lost $3/4 mil on last year's SB, the BB loss you're referencing covered what he owed his book, w/o alerting the wife to the situation-
