When programs like Duke and UNC have been upset early in tournaments, that should tell you winning one game isn't as big an accomplishment as you think.


Check the books and see how many times we’ve lost as a 1 or 2 or 3 seed in the first round. Acc teams seem to do it a lot.

that's b/c theyhave more opportunities to lose as top seed.
:)

If I was designging the tournament, I would give the top seeds at least a double bye. perhaps a triple bye. I think regular season should matter more.

UMBC will now benefit from getting weakest seeds left, an advantage that UVA's regular season earned them, simply b/c they won one game. lol

I post on this forum mostly because it is one of the most active sports forums, and I hate Reddit's interface.




You could just go over to tigernet and fluff each other's nuts talking about how great Clemson is and how it is a mountain lake resort type of town.

Tillman, UVA obviously was not an elite team... And they won the conference. Wasn't impressed by UNC... Haven't seen enough of Duke to say either way, but they lost 5 games in conference.

You don't lose only 3 games all season without being elite. It is easy for you to say they aren't elite.

UNC is a great team. Great passing and shooting. Clemson was fortnuate Pinson got hurt early in that game b/c he is their glue guy.

Berry's performance at Clemson this year was probably a top 5 performance by a guard that I've seen. He's an incredible player.

No, that’s because the media likes to beef up teams just because they can beat Duke. And the media rolls with it.

I wasn't talking trash about Duke. I just thought it was fricking retarded that you said this was the best Duke team ever.

no

i'll be impressed though. lol I like Avery, and I enjoy watchig Sexton and Petty.

I'm not rooting against any SEC team, even Auburn. I just like watching good ball.

One of my favorite Clemson games this year was the game at FSU that Clemson loss, because it was a great game by both teams.

Rhode Island looked pretty impressive to me in their first game so I could see an upset of Duke tomorrow. Duke probably going ot have too much size for them though.

I wouldn't mind seeing that b/c I'm mad ZIon chose Duke over Clemson. lol

He wasn't impressed with the lake mountain resort type of town Clemson is.

On a serious note though. I don't understand why people would be mad about that. Unless he gets injured or something freakish happens, he is more likely going to be a one and done.

i'm not really mad lol

I think it does help change perception of a school to land a top recruit like that though. Plus all the sports 'experts' made it sound like a lock Clemson would get him.

The lake / mountain thing is more of a deciding factor if your program is at a certian level. There obviously a lot less competitive football programs than bball, and Clemson has no natural advantage in recruiting in bball vs football, where warm weather plays a role.

Looks like Brownell has a solid class coming in, and the guard Devoe is the main person leaving. We should have most experienced team in ACC next year.

One thing I was noticing today after watching a lot of games this week is Clemson players are more handsome than most players on other teams.
