Absolutely no respect for CU. This totally stinks.

THIS IS AWESOME

WE ARE DANCING BABY

We have exceeded all expectations. Now lets win.

It's about what I expected based on RPI and SOS..


Mar 13, 2011, 6:41 PM [ in reply to Re: Tigers to face UAB in NCAA Tournament first round ]

I was pretty sure we still needed the BC win to get in. Now if VT gets in as a higher seed I will be ticked...

But this is way better than I expected at the start of the year..

We can actually win 2 games here from the bracket I see.

i was p*ssed when i found out we had a play-in game, but the more i looked at it, i actually think it works to our advantage. i know we have a great chance at winning a few games!!!

UAB is weak.

UAB is where we got Cliff Ellis. They used to have a decent team. I don't know how they are doing now.

UAB won the regular season championship and was a #1 seed in Conference USA tourney. They got upset by ECU who they had just beaten badly (18) a week earlier. It was an OT loss, but it happened. I don't know why anyone would consider them all that bad. They didn't beat anyone worth a crap just like us. We need to take this game seriously. Mike Davis' previous job was at Indiana, where he coached pretty well - just not good enough for Indiana. Should be a good game IMO.

Mar 14, 2011, 10:02 PM

I see it as a good game too, but one we need to win in order to show the seeding folks that we deserve more respect. If we lose this first game...seeding was justified and no respect for Clemson or the ACC.

Hey, we're in the dance. Who thought we'd be here 1st of year. Our program has accomplished alot. Kudos to BB. Very excited about the future of Clemson Basketball! Let's go on a run and open some eyes!

Gonna have to earn the respect we deserve!!!!!


Mar 13, 2011, 6:55 PM

let's win a couple of games in the tourney and show the nation, "CLEMSON IS COMING"

I don't understand a play in game for a #12 seed


Mar 13, 2011, 7:09 PM

Haven't really paid any attention to the expansion, but it seems like the play in games should be for 16 seeds.

They recognize that the last at-large teams are actually


Mar 13, 2011, 7:11 PM

better than many of the teams that got automatic bids via conference championships.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah, that makes sense.


Mar 13, 2011, 7:35 PM

But we still deserved a better draw.

Re: Yeah, that makes sense.


Mar 13, 2011, 9:37 PM

Amen

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

they could have made all 16's a play in


Mar 13, 2011, 7:49 PM [ in reply to I don't understand a play in game for a #12 seed ]

and moved the last 4 in to 13 seeds

Maybe they want to generate a tv audiance. Maybe they


Mar 13, 2011, 8:49 PM [ in reply to I don't understand a play in game for a #12 seed ]

think that 8 teams like Akron playing each other for the right to play a No. 1 seed is not good for TV.

We can't claim we're in the tournament until we beat UAB.***

Then why do they call it a "play-in" game?


Mar 13, 2011, 8:20 PM

The winner get's to go to the tournament.

I'm not being a Nancy, just calling it how I see it.

Re: Then why do they call it a "play-in" game?


Mar 13, 2011, 8:31 PM

They aren't calling it a play in game this year. The Tuesday and Wednesday games are now being considered the 1st round of the tournament. Regardless, Clemson is still participating in the tournament and has been given an opportunity to show what they can do against what is to be considered the best teams in college basketball.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Still looks like a play in game to me.

When it's all said and done, we have to beat UAB to get into that bracket.

Maybe YOU can't, but the NCAA has us as a participant.

Why try to spin it negatively??

Agreed...and Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis have set CU up...


Mar 13, 2011, 8:57 PM [ in reply to We can't claim we're in the tournament until we beat UAB.*** ]

...for failure.

Bilas and Davis had to spend at least 30 minutes of air time busting on UAB, insulting everything about the basketball program, and then started in on the players families, their girlfriends, their choice in briefs or boxers, criminal records, future crimes yet to be committed.

If this diatribe does put a weed up every UAB player's A55 before they play Clemson, I don't know what would.

UAB is going to come out of that locker room breathing the fire their mascot is breathing to make ESPN look like the chump programming that they already are.

Clemson has been set up...pathetic...really pathetic!

Re: Agreed...and Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis have set CU up...


Mar 13, 2011, 10:38 PM

I don't disagree that they have some locker room incentives to show they belong, but if we want to be considered among the best, we have to start beating some of the best. If we can't beat them, then maybe we shouldn't be there, either, and I am one who is glad we are. I never expected this prior to the start of the year. I believe we will get that first win, and then we can take another step. Go Tigers!!
