Twitter reacts to Clemson missing NCAA tournament |
The Clemson men’s basketball team was not included in the NCAA Tournament field announced on Sunday evening.
According to the committee, Mississippi State, Pitt, Arizona State and Nevada were the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament field, while Clemson was regarded as the fourth team among the last four out with Oklahoma State, Rutgers, and North Carolina. Fans, media, and national pundits reacted on Twitter after Clemson missed the tournament despite having a school-record 14-6 ACC conference mark. Check it out below: Clemson’s loss to Louisville cost the Tigers an ACC regular season championship and an NCAA Tournament bid. The most inexplicable and inexcusable loss I’ve witnessed for any Clemson program, and now it’s the one that defines the season. Pitt and NC State are in because their automatic wins were tougher than Clemson's. Louisville kept Clemson out of the NCAA Tournament, right? Well, Louisville beating Clemson by 10 probably single-handedly knocked them out of the tournament. So at least we accomplished that. Hunter Tyson is all that is good about college basketball. Negative message board posters kept #Clemson out of the tournament. pic.twitter.com/QpswG39GFF Clemson snubbed?#SelectionSunday x @MarchMadnessMBB pic.twitter.com/pG87tdeuS1 What an embarrassment. Our seniors deserved better https://t.co/tzNcU3tc6j The only team that missed the field that has a gripe is Clemson. They finished third in the ACC and won 15 games against ACC teams. They should be in. Teams like Nevada getting in over Clemson is asinine. And WVU lost 14 games, why exactly are they in? I expect this same “we didn’t deserve it” energy from Clemson fans when baseball regionals come around or the football playoffs. Apparently the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Committee was not a big fan of the ACC this season.

We're letting quad 3 vs quad 4 non conference opponents decide the field. SMH
Wasn't highly recruited, worked his ass off, returned for a fifth year, earned 1st team All-ACC, led Clemson to 23-10 (14-6) and sees bubble teams he went 5-0 against get in over Clemson.
Hate it for him and this team
•Only 5 teams got in
•1 of them (Pitt) is in play-in game
•Only 1 of them (#4 UVA) is seeded to reach Sweet 16, if seeding holds
•3rd place Clemson = Out
