Our current winning percentage this season
Feb 25, 2021, 11:14 AM
|

of 0.737 is our best since the 1989-1990 season. That's over 30 years ago for those keeping track at home.
It is our fourth best overall winning percentage since joining the ACC in the early 1950s.
This is even more impressive when we consider the fact that we've played a strength of schedule ranked in the top 10 this year, and also had to contend with COVID pauses.
Keep it up, Tigers!

Great point, Judge! Why didn’t PJ Hall play yesterday? Did you get any details?

Covid related. Hopefully we get him back for Miami. Aamir deserves a lot of credit for staying out of foul trouble the entire game.

That's the only good thing about blowout losses,

they still only count as one loss, no matter how many points you got waxed by.

that we had 4 road games cancelled that we most likely would have gone 2-2 at best and probably 1-3 in. So pick and choose your stats as it fits your agenda Judge!

I probably argue with judge as much as or more than anyone here. I have been critical of brownell especially after the first covid stint. But man come on this team is playing well right now and seem focused on effort and playing the game well. Wake stinks I know but still the effort was there and you could see the team leave it all out on the line.
With that said give me you win loss that leaves us 1-3 over those games. I’m genuinely curious as someone who is a sunshine pumper I don’t see what you see so please tell us.

Well at the point the games were cancelled
Feb 25, 2021, 9:44 PM

we had 1 road league win, by 1 point over a putrid Miami team at the near buzzer. Also, at the point the UNC and Syracuse games were cancelled we hadn’t yet played them and beaten them at home. They are both very solid at home, I assume that we probably would have lost them both, as we know the second of back to back road games which was at Syracuse is very difficult to win. Then I think we may have split at Notre Dame and Pittsburgh. Notre Dame was playing better at that point and that was also before Xavier Johnson had decided to quit on the Pittsburgh team. So the path to Clemson going 1-3 is very easy especially considering their history and the current team’s road performances this year.

Ok I also had us losing to notre dame but winning out the next 4. Syracuse is not playing well and we had confidence before another pause. We split this and saying Pitt gives us a game is like saying Wake on the road gives us a game. Pitt is just bad with or without a transfer. Anything can happen but we would be favored in that game by Vegas. Not saying it’s a lock but odds say we win. The UNC game was at a different time if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong so not making a statement of fact but that cancelled game on the road was earlier. UNC was playing like trash early on while we were playing well. Of course it’s speculation but at that time I remember the season I like we would have been favored in that game. I’m saying if the games were played without pause we have a floor of 2-2 but 3-1 would be the Vegas line. Again speculation so that’s my opinion.
I will say as good as we are playing I hope we avoid duke and UNC in the acc bc they are playing well. But in the same breath you have to admit we are playing well too.

You’re the one picking and choosing stats, not me.

I included every game we played this year in my post. You, on the other hand, don’t want to acknowledge that we are a very good team, so you created this ridiculous hypothetical performance against teams we didn’t play.
And of course you assumed the worst in your little hypothetical, claiming we would lose 3/4ths of those games even though we are better than all of those teams this year.
It’s ridiculous that you said we would lose 3/4ths of those games, when that is exactly the OPPOSITE of what we have done this year. We’ve won 3/4ths of our games, not lost them.
You aren’t fooling anyone, you aren’t a Clemson basketball fan.

Play the hypothetical game judge... genuinely curious what you think the results would have been given the time during the season the game would have been played.... I gave my answers of beat UNC at home early, lose to ND they were hot, beat BC (cancelled game not brought up), beat Pitt, beat Syracuse on road as they just aren’t that good and we had momentum, and beat Wake which proved to be true. Also think we will beat Miami.
This from someone who doesn’t think the highest of basketball team and so I think that’s a very realistic scenario. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what could have been.

So in road games in the ACC
Feb 25, 2021, 10:14 PM
|

Up to the first pause:
12/15 Virginia Tech 66-60 L 01/02 Miami 66-65 W
And then from the first pause to the second pause:
01/20 Georgia Tech 83-65 L 01/23 Florida State 80-61 L 01/30 Duke 79-53 L
So with the results listed above, you’re right, they probably would have gone 4-0 in those games based on their previous results. We’ve always done so good on the road especially this year! We’ll never know, but it’s been VERY BENEFICIAL to the team that their cancellations have all been road games against fairly decent teams.

You did leave out neutral site games with Miss St, Purdue, and a top 10 Bama which under covid fans are pretty much the same as road games. I’m not saying we win every game we got paused because realistically speaking we probably lose some... but on the flip side we don’t lose them all either. Our road losses so far have been against tough teams and I think wake proved against the bad teams we missed we could have easily won. Reality is this team is very good not great but very good for Clemson should have us all excited. I think we finish strong with 2 wins to close out season and another 1 win in ACC before putting a run together in post season. Hopefully that means sweet 16 but who knows.
