Either 6-1 down this stretch, or if not 2 ACCT wins will be needed. Neither of those prospects is especially comforting right now. It should be close, though.

Magic Number - 24 Wins

I believe 24 wins locks us into the dance -- I think 6 wins is doable.

If we have 20 wins entering the ACC tourney, we'll need to do some work and probably win at least 2-3 to give us a shot.

If we sit at 22 wins entering the ACC tourney, winning one may be enough but a lot is going to depend on at large bids and how the committee feels about us.

May the odds be in our favor and may it work out for the best either way.

Brad has us in first place in the ACC and has had our greatest season of ALL TIMES, up to this point.

What gives?

In the NCAA Tournament if we win the ACC Tournament. Otherwise there are no guarantees even if we win out. This NET score just carries too much weight with the committee.

Lol you realize if we win out we will be 26-4 and will have one the Acc regular season. I would say we were in for sure then. In my opinion 23 wins and were in.

Swimmer, come out of the pool and look at the schedule. You cannot have the greatest year, until the season is over.

No. It’s not the time of year when we historically win basketball games. This team isn’t any different than the past.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes.


Feb 5, 2023, 3:17 PM

I believe all they have to do is finish the season 4-3 without losing to FSU,Louisville, and ND. If they do that, they should finish within the top seed in the league. A win in the ACCT would solidify it. That would make us a 23 win team. I don’t see how we get left out with that record, even with a down ACC.

I think they’ll actually finish 5-2. Which may make that UVA game very interesting.

Yes because we will find a way to win 5 more games and 23 wins will get us in.

If we go 4-3 we will need at least 2 wins in the ACC tournament. Remember our net ranking is not going to improve very much. And you do get punished for who you play . It's not all about how many wins you rack up.

Re: Will Clemson make NCAA tournament


Feb 5, 2023, 5:27 PM

And SC is doing its absolute best to kill the Tigers' NET ranking. 4-3 and at least one ACCT win MAY do it. Absolutely cannot afford a loss to FSU, Louisville, ND, and the 'Cuse. I doubt the Tigers win at UNC, State or Virginia. The losses to BC and the Canes could be backbreakers. But that's our Brownell.

Re: Will Clemson make NCAA tournament


Feb 5, 2023, 5:59 PM

I sure hope so! But there is lots of work to be done. I feel like we need to win all but one regular season game and that is a TALL task. These last two "winnable games" are agonizing losses. I don't want any 'back against the wall' deal at the ACCT, the history in that tourney is unfriendly.

Re: Will Clemson make NCAA tournament


Feb 5, 2023, 6:14 PM

Need to win every game at home & @ Louisville..plus take 2 0f 3 at a minimum at Raleigh at Chapel Hill or at Charlottesville ....I just don't see it happening but I hope I'm wrong

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yes.


Feb 5, 2023, 6:58 PM

We will finish top 4 in the ACC and have a good record in quad 1 and 2 games.

With that said, we do need to play better than we have the last couple of games. This week off comes at a good time. We need to get healthy and refocused.

This aged well.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, because there is a lot of ball to be played


Feb 5, 2023, 11:00 PM

within the next century. Surely we will make it in the brackets within that amount of time. ????

As far as this season goes, I am starting to have my doubts. Too many bad losses and close wins. The remaining schedule does not set up very well. Only good thing is (I think) we only have one more Tuesday game after a weekend game.

I assume we are discussing basketball BTW.

Re: Yes, because there is a lot of ball to be played


Feb 6, 2023, 9:00 PM

Probably not.

We play 10 games against bottom six in the ACC. Only play 10 against top eight teams. Schedule is killing us and two quad 4 losses and one quad 3 is not helping . We are in high 60's in the net because of it with Carolina up next Satueday.

Re: Will Clemson make NCAA tournament


Feb 11, 2023, 5:55 PM

Probably not at this point. Those early season losses will drag us down like a mill stone around our necks. We'll have to make it to the ACC finals to have a chance.
Go Tigers!!! Let's make a run!!!

Re: Will Clemson make NCAA tournament


Feb 11, 2023, 6:44 PM

Easy answer. NO. Strength of Schedule. If Brad would play a tough out of conference schedule and win some there is no question. There in. But those two quad 4 losses are brutal.

Not sure we win another game at this rate. Not a Judge Keller hater, but we sure are fading down the stretch. I knew we'd get screwed at UNC, that is an ACC ref certainty even if we play well. But I hate validating the naysayers after initially looking good.
