Because we have a coach that tells his team that we are playing soft at half with a 16 point lead. Brownell found a way to suck all of the fun out of it.

He was calling them soft after they allowed an 8-0 run in the first 2 minutes of the first half

Always have these scoring droughts in the Brownlee era.

when we had a 20+ point lead with 10 minutes to go in the game.
Some people are just purely ignorant.

Exactly, they also seem to fail to realize that basketball

is a game of runs. Start of the second half was 8-0, 7-0, and something like 12-1.

It’s all about momentum in every sport. It’s the fact that we continually can get large leads and next thing we know we can’t make a basket in 5 minutes of game time.
I get teams struggle but this seems to be a normal occurrence.

Do you watch other college basketball or just Clemson?

If you watched other teams you would see that the exact same thing happens everywhere. Momentum is much more prevalent in basketball than most all other sports just due to the back and forth nature.

And of course the original intent is assumed based on the outcome.
I meant this post as why we will continually get large leads and crumble. The outcome of the game is insignificant to this point.

Kind of like how UNC had a large lead that crumbled at UNC? What about the large lead that NC State had with less than 2 minutes to go that crumbled?
Those are two examples of other teams losing leads to Clemson.
It happens..wait for it...everywhere.

Please tell me the last time you’ve seen a team not score in close to, what, 12 minutes? (Referencing UVA). I get teams struggle and it happens across the board. That’s sports. It just seems like Clemson can’t get out of scoring droughts in a timely manner regularly.

You're referencing one game, when we went on the road, against the #2 team in the country, the first game after our team leader and top 2 player was injured for the season.
If that's the vacuum you want to judge the team in then go ahead, but it's hilariously idiotic to do so.

I don’t believe those two factors allow for much room of excuse to go 12 minutes without a single point. Yes, that impacted it but I see no way to justify going 12 minutes without a point. Yes it’s one of the worst games but it still aids the question of why we continually find ourselves in long droughts without points.
I’ve overall been really impressed with this team and the way they finish games but I can never understand how we can’t get past the droughts.

Enjoy... we won... I know it disappoints you, but most of us are actually quite happy with a solid win against UNC.

Please share where I said I wasn’t pleased with a win? I rarely criticize something about the basketball team because I’ve enjoyed watching them play this season and think they close games well, even if we don’t win. It just seems like we continually have these long periods without scoring, or score very minimal points in a long period of time.
