Clemson basketball ??, tough year but wow

did they have a lot of heart. This team could have easily won 4 to 5 more games this season with a fortunate bounce here or there. 2 losses on last second prayers( Syracuse & Va Tech ) not to mention the UNC game which we hit a free throw with 4 seconds left and that could have been a W. Lost at Cameron by 2 and could not get a shot off to try and win. Other games were very close but those do not come to mind right now.
Tough season but this team fought hard but just couldn't get it done. The ACC is a tough conference and we are definitely not a basketball school so I am sad to see this team struggle to win close games this year, but not surprised by it either. I feel for the guys as I know they gave it all they had but just came up a bit short. The NIT should come calling and with this Tiger team they could make a run and who knows what can happen. ?? bit this year is a understatement!
Go Tigers, best wishes in the NIT should we get that invite.

Yes, my post was primarily player related

So many chances squandered but that is sports. They can't all be winners! As fans we are still only a couple months removed from that Championship. And baseball team is rounding into shape, could be another great year.
Either way I support the teams and wish the players and coaches all the best!

key words: support the players
coaching is a job, and keeping a job is performance based. i believe 7 yrs is plenty of time to evaluate a programs direction.

The results certainly say we weren't but the games

we're almost entirely competitive. Take Louisville and at FSU away and we are in every single game.
Take that with a grade if slaw, or grain of salt, or polishing a turd. But we had chances and could not get it done.

Playing close and losing means zilch

Honestly, is there any other ACC school where Brad would still have a job? The fact he still does here says all that needs to be said in regards to how little we care about basketball

Why is this so hard for folks to accept? It is the simple

truth - we were not very good. Period. I'm glad we played hard and with heart and were very close to being good, but in the end we WERE NOT GOOD. To believe otherwise is delusional.

a "bounce here or there" huh...
Mar 8, 2017, 5:44 PM

how about a "rebound or two" or a "Defensive stop" here or there, would be a lot more accurate. Lack of defense and rebounding were the doom of this team from the get go. This is how you lose a lot of games when you have pretty good offensive players. Out.

One could easily say they don't have a ton of heart. Brownell had to beg for effort on defense all year. It's time for a change. Brownell is working for Clemson and the players aren't working for him.
