Deptula on Clemson hoops.

..."Kentucky is 8-1, Penn St is 8-1, San Fran is 7-2, 4 losses among them, 3 of those losses were to Clemson. Yes, those teams are 23-1 vs non-Tigers. Sorry, Clemson should be much higher than 16."

It is frustrating but if we keep playing well and winning it will be fine.

Leave us unranked or low. I feel like we play tighter with the higher rank, trying to "defend" it. Helps us play with a chip on our shoulder when we feel disrespected. Rank doesn't mean anything till we get near the postseason.

Clemson is ranked number eight in the ESPN power rankings

16 is good with me, we did also lose to a Boise team that is proving to be a bit suspect, not a big deal just throwing it out there.

We don't have a long enough track record to just get thrust up into the top 10 of a couple of good wins, which is understandable. Handle business against Memphis and we'll work up closer.

It's similar to how in football, I think we got ranked higher than we should have based on name value along several times this year. For the same reason in basketball, the blue bloods of the sport will always have some rankings bias even with 3-4 losses, which I understand.

How do you keep Gamecocks out of your yard?

Unfortunately it seems like we have been held back by a weak ACC and the fact that Clemson's basketball history is pretty much crap.

Before any of this, yes I think we can even win a national championship. Get hot, good teams like this can.

You’ve got to take into account how we haven’t looked up to our potential. Struggling against subpar teams at times is a confusing thing when we beat Kentucky.


We got Kentucky at home and that was a big advantage

Penn State usually is a below average to average team every year. And they lost to Rutgers last night. Not the worst loss, but a loss. Though they seem like a bubble team.


San Francisco is a team I don’t really understand why he would bring up. They haven’t had any type of signature wins to put them on the map of relevance this year. They did beat Boise State.

You lose PJ Hall and Joe Girard, start unranked, and have a loss to Boise State, you can’t expect them to put Clemson in the top-10 after one win vs Kentucky.

I think it’s reasonable to put us where we are.
