The fact that we know without a doubt that Duke would have

... been at the line for three FTs at the end if we'd held the lead and reached in like that just illustrates the level of the two programs in the hierarchy of the ACC.
Maybe it was a clean strip, maybe it wasn't, but we do KNOW without a doubt that a foul would have been called on Clemson.
But perhaps more importantly, we also know with a fair degree of certainty that even if we'd been awarded the FTs, we probably would have missed one (or two) which is indicative of the talent/ability/confidence differential.
So close ... so close ... so many times.

It gives me no pleasure, in fact it pains me beyond words, to wholeheartedly agree with your entire post. I want, so badly, for our Basketball program to be a factor. I am 65 years old, and I can just hope and pray that I live long enough to see Clemson BB be a national factor. I am very skeptical, though.

Sadly, I have you beat by 15, and I haven't seen us get past the "almost" either.

Statistics and "Moral Victories" are for losers. This is the tradition of Clemson Men's Basketball unfortunately.

Brownell has to go. He can't recruit and He can't develop his players.Clemson has the oldest team in the conference but they all play like freshmen. Comes in as freshmen and leaves with freshmen abilities.

Clemson had many, many opportunities to upset Duke and simply put could not pull it off - too many ill-advised outside shots - and Brownell really came up short-handed by not saving a timeout for the end of the game.....

That's about as close as I ever came, too, and that's about as close as the cooties ever will come to amounting to squat in FB, as well.
