Seems like just a couple months ago we were complaining

about Brad's lack of tournament success. Now he's 1 win away from Clemson being named the world champions of the world, which is even better than being just the NCAA champs.
I hope D-Rad is paying attention, a lifetime contract for Coach Brad Brownell is probably in order.

Twice in 9 years, 4 starters from a Tourney team return
Jul 9, 2019, 2:39 PM

and can not make the Tourney because in Year 9 the coach can't build a bench.
Are those facts of the case as you see them?

last year was bad considering the roster and experience. I'm not sure what happened. THis year after transfers in and out plus recruits the roster is almost new. I think this summer experience will really help them

This year we are on the brink of being world champions. Would you rather beat the entire world, or would you rather beat NCAA division 1 teams, which is a subset of a subset of a subset of a subset of the entire world?
I'll wait...

He didn't get fired after missing the tournament 7 times

what makes you think he could be fired after beating every single country in the world at basketballing? That's like elite Coach K type credentials.

I know you are only kidding, but please don't even put that out there. Some nonoriginal thinker in the Athletic Department might take off and run with it.

Amazing how far our BB program has come

Between OP leaving the cupboard bare & KJ leaving Clemson early, I assumed we wouldn't be able to compete with the big boys until the 2020's
Glad I was wrong!

Yep, and don't forget the season where we had to play
Jul 9, 2019, 3:21 PM

all of our games on the road. CBB fans used that as a crutch/excuse. Well now we play all of our games halfway around the world and it don't matter none, we still win.

So let me get this straight....this past offseason we let Steve Smith walk, and now all of the sudden we are 1 win away from being crowned world champs?
I think we found the problem. Smith undoubtedly steered Zion to Duke and also most likely encouraged KJ to bolt for the NBA
It's good to know that the AD knows how to weed out the bad apples before it's too late

I am glad we are doing well overseas but it is hard to put this success into context without knowing the makeup of the teams we are playing. If these are Olympic quality national teams, we have a lot to be proud of. If this is the Lithuanian Church of Christ 12th grade boys Sunday school class, then not so much.

Germany was all pro. #20 for Israel has been pro for 8 years. 8 years ago we had guys in elementary school. Most of these teams have numerous pros. The competition that we have played has been stout and worthy. This is historic for our program. As much as football is beloved (and should be) they will Never be able to claim this distinction.
