5th PLACE - 5th PLACE


Mar 24, 2021, 4:14 PM

I am honestly so sick of the narrative about our big 5th place finish in the ACC, it is SO FAKE (really wish the conference had used a formula to seed teams in the conference tournament to account for the unbalanced schedule). And because we like stats, here they are:

4. GT 11-6 (9 home & 8 away)
5. Clemson 10-6 (9 home & 7 away)
6. UNC 10-6 (7 home & 9 away)
7. Louisville 8-5 (6 home & 7 away)
8. Syracuse 9-7 (8 home & 8 away)
9. NC St. 9-8 (8 home & 9 away)

So as you see we had by far the most favorable home and away breakdown for our played ACC games vs every other team around us. Just to play it out and say every team played their 20 games and wins all there missed home games and loses (not a big assumption to take for Clemson) all their away games, the standings would have been:

4. UNC 13-7
5. Louisville 12-8
6. GT 12-8
7. Syracuse 11-9
8. Clemson 11-9
9. NC St. 11-9

So 8th place, I know this is making assumptions, but the 5th place finish people on here like to brag about was strictly a figment of the imagination and the benefit of the home/road breakout vs the competition near us in the standings.

Fortunately teams aren’t ranked on assumptions. Away games were less challenging with limited attendance so I’m not sure you could assume Clemson would lose every road game. The out of conference wins (on the road) were very impressive to many folks. Not so much from some of its not so loyal fan base! I’m excited for next season. Sorry you aren’t. There is a team in Columbia needing support.

Pipe dreamer! With Brownell 5th will be the highest finish in the next 3 seasons. I'd trade basketball to get track back! Clemson basketball both men and women's is just a sport to fill a building. Brownell can go away please!!

Not sure how you can be excited about next season with the transfers... Unless you're thinking we'll get a few impact players. The ones transferring out were our best bet on having something.

Clemson had 0

out of Conference road wins and in fact played 0 out of conference road games. We won two road games all season, Miami on the final possession and Wake, and got humiliated in the five losses. So I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that 0-3 is unreasonable for the three missed games, UNC, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh.

Our cancellations were the worst teams in the league.

We had games canes canceled against Pittsburgh, wake forest and BC.

Likewise, VT had games canceled against Virginia, FSU twice, UNC, and Louisville.
