It's the things that the talking heads say that gives our guys the willingness to play that much harder. In most cases we can thank them for firing up our team to prove them wrong!!!

Yeah if he knew what he was talking about he wouldn't have spent the whole article defending his reasoning. NET rankings are garbage and for those who use it to rank teams shows how little they actually know.

ranking do not matter, seeding matters and winning the games you play matters... eventually; if you go all the way your going to face one of the top two teams in the country... you are the other top two team.

Chances are you will face another very good team in 2nd round

Mar 9, 2025, 1:06 PM

.. regardless of seeding. Making the Sweet 16 is always a significant accomplishment.

The amount of disrespect this team receives is crazy. We’re a 5 loss team that was a couple of points away from being a 2 loss team. We also won 18 conference games, but because we’re in the ACC it doesn’t matter.

The problem with the basketball team is, we don’t have enough quality loses.

Losing to a scrub GT really hurt us

Mar 9, 2025, 8:56 PM [ in reply to Re: This guy has Clemson ]

And losing to a scrub coot team makes us look bad, even if the sketchy NET rankings don't say so.

Bottom line: Want respect? BEAT THE SCRUBS ON YOUR SCHEDULE!!!!!!
