And it isn’t true.

Which games did we lose this year that we were supposed to win?

Miami was our only loss this year to a team that wasn’t a quad 1 team. So there’s one, out of 23 games we played this year.

We beat 8 teams in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

Answer me. Which games other than Miami did we lose this year that we were supposed to win?

You can't be serious.


Mar 15, 2021, 1:48 PM

Earlier, you said:

we seem to manage to lose the ones we’re expected to win.

I asked which games this year we were expected to win, other than the Miami game in the ACC Tournament.

A post above showed that the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta was the only other game this year we were favored to win and lost. So that's two games out of 23 which we could reasonably expect to win and didn't.

Yet you're completely ignoring all of that, and instead focusing on the games YOU thought we should've won. Seriously? And you completely ignore the games we weren't supposed to win, but did win.

Based on your post, you are saying that there are three more games aside from Miami that we should've won that we did not (Virginia, Georgia Tech, and Duke). That would make us 19-4 overall, with a conference record of 13-3.

In your scenario, we would be regular season ACC champions by a wide margin, and probably gotten us at least a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Possibly even a 1 seed.

That's a pretty ridiculous standard you set for us this year. But why stop there? Why not also complain about the 4 other losses? We should be undefeated, right? We're Clemson and we should strive for "best is the standard." We should be undefeated just like Gonzaga, and the overall #1 seed in the tournament. Right?!?

Your original statement was that we seem to lose the games we are supposed to win.


Mar 15, 2021, 4:56 PM

As if it’s an ongoing problem with our team.

And now that has morphed into your own ambiguous definition of who you think we are supposed to beat. And now you’re also focusing on several games that we didn’t just lose, but lost by more than you find acceptable.

Surely you can understand my confusion when your definition changed. If you want to talk about games where you feel we should’ve played better, that’s perfectly reasonable and I agree with all of your examples. But that’s not what you said. At all.

Re: This kind of crap gets repeated here over and over.


Mar 14, 2021, 9:59 PM [ in reply to This kind of crap gets repeated here over and over. ]

Miami
GT (first game).
Not favored by Vegas, but we should beaten Syracuse.

But, I'm not just talking about just this year. And, I'm not speaking to our season. We had a good season. This goes back to years of frustration with our performance in Tournaments.

- We've gone (0-1) in the ACC tournament 14x in the last 20 years. 14/20.
- Only 1x (2008) have we won 2 games in the ACC tournament. Once.....in a 20 year period.
- We've gone (0-1) 6 of the 11 times we've been to the NCAA Tournament
- We've gone (0-1) 7 of the 17 times we've been to the NIT


Just once I'd like to see us win the ACC Tournament, as at least 8 other teams have (at least 1x) in the last 20 years.

UNC
Duke
FSU
Maryland
Miami
UVA
GT
ND


For the tournament. Making the Elite 8 would be a dream, but we've gone (0-1) 6 of the 11 times we've been there before. SO I'm just hoping for a miracle win in the first round.

Clemson, something Purnell, Barnes, and Ellis didn't have. So while I share your frustration about postseason failures at Clemson, I don't think it's fair to lump Brownell in as it pertains to the Big Dance.

He has struggled in the ACC Tournament, and that's one of the biggest things I feel he needs to improve upon.

This is absolutely mind boggling how we're not at least a 6-8 pt favorite. We dropped to a lower seed, Rutgers about right. They have lost 11 games.

We've out recruited them the last 4 years. There basketball history is NIT (where we beat them). Compared to Rutgers we're a blue blood in basketball.

Even espn winners/losers mention our draw and favorability. We should win by 20 points. About like wake Forest game. It's a lock.

Funny, FSU was 3-4 away from Tally. GT was 3-5. Cuse was 2-6. VT was 3-3.

Only UVA and ironically NC State were above .500 on the road.

If you hold serve at home and then win more than you lose on the road, you win the ACC season.

Our road losses were to stronger teams. VT, FSU, Cuse, GT ... and the weakest was Duke. We split the decisions betwenn FSU, Cuse, and GT. That is darn good.

Kenpom has Rutgers rated about 2 points better


Mar 15, 2021, 11:30 AM

than Clemson. His ratings really, really like the Big Ten in general with B1G teams sitting at 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13. The highest rated ACC team is UVA at 11. FSU (15) is the only other ACC team to crack his top 25.

I guess the big question here will be whether or not the B1G is really that good as a league.
