Overemotional pre-teens.
It’s funny when all the posts start flooding in when we lose a few games. It’s like you all are looking for us to lose.
We lost 3 games to good teams. This has happened before and will happen again.
UVA - defending national champ GT - on the road against the oldest and most veteran team in the country. I know you low IQ basketball fans just think GT sucks but that is not the case. FSU - On the road against arguably the most talented team in the ACC.
Now I know a lot of you are just going to say it’s not the fact that we lost, it’s the fact that we got blown out.... we’ll make up your mind! If we lost 3 close games in a row it would be “derp Brownell” can’t win close games” and you know that’s true.
So my question to you haters is, what were your expectations going in the season? Elite 8? Final 4?
Because you realize we are still projected to go to the tourney. And the remaining ACC schedule sets up very nicely for us.

name-calling - speaking of pre-teens ......
Since we were told all of the last year that THIS year was the year that Brownell would have his most talented and deepest team ......
AT LEAST BE COMPETITIVE IN ALL OUR GAMES. MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU WANT TO BE THERE.
That’s all. After 45 years of Clemson basketball, with 2 or 3 notable exceptions, that’s all I ever expect - except when we are REALLY bad - and there have been MANY of those years.

For a team that has the number of talented players that we have this year... i mean (simms/dawes/honor/hemenway) all can consistently hit from outside. Ball handlers (Trapp/Honor/Dawes) as the main guys but even our big guys (Tyson/Simms/Baehre) can handle the ball and are not liabilities on the floor. Experience is there with Newman who can pitch in and get you double digit points every so often.... Then you've got PJ Hall who might be the most complete Freshman Big Man that we've had at Clemson...
All that said and they get blown out by 20 or more, 3 consecutive games to similar/talent teams..?!?! Like what happens to us mid season? My brother made a good point about Honor the other day. He mentioned that he liked his style early in the year bc Coach Brownell hadn't made him play scared yet. He was driving to the bucket, had the confidence to keep shooting and make tough shots. But now it looks like he's thinking too much and not just reading and reacting like he did earlier in the year. Does coach Brownell have these guys overloaded on scheme and thinking too much? I think they're always worried about not being in the perfect position that they forget to just ball out.
Either way. WE seem to always hit this tight/scared play mid season. And we usually don't shake it off. I thought this team had enough bright spots to overcome the occasionally cold night from Simms or Dawes. That we had enough quality and depth that someone else would pick up the slack.. good teams dont' get dominated by teams like these. We are just as good as those teams but to get beat big for 3 in a row...something has changed.

Another factor to consider is this three game slide occurred after an unscheduled break and pause of all play and practice.
But I think what most people are disappointed in is the way we lost. It wasn’t even close. (Except double OT) but getting blown out vs losing close games to good competition are apples and oranges

believe the lay-off hurt the rhythm. We will bounce back.
My thoughts are we'll make the NCAA's and hopefully do well. We have the talent, experience and coaching. Just got to get hot at the right time and stay hot.

VERY end of hoops season . . . . would LOVE to have a Basketball National Championship to go with our football, soccer & golf hardware ! ! !
And I could not possibly care less who the coach is that would lead us there - Brownell, YOU, me, Dean Smith . . . OK - maybe NOT Dean Smith . . . . but - WHOEVER - just get us there !

I know that it seems hard to believe, but there are some that hate Brownell so much, that they are glad to see our guys lose only bc BB is the HC, pathetic I know, but true!!!

I think if the games were closer those fans would be less critical. They were supposedly pretty ugly.

No they wouldn’t. I’ve read this board for the entire brownell tenure. Any time we lose no matter the point difference the over-emotional, low IQ basketball posters come on here to complain. It would literally be no different.
The last 3 games sucked. They were depressing to watch. But, we have still exceeded my expectations so far this year. We are still on track to make the tourney.
