Hypothetical choice for long-suffering basketball fans
Jan 14, 2018, 3:33 PM
|

Suppose you are given this choice for how the rest of the basketball season plays out:
Scenario 1: We win in Chapel Hill on Tuesday. We do not win the ACC regular season, but do win the ACC tournament, beating either UNC or Duke in the championship game. We enter the NCAA tournament as a #1 or #2 seed. We fail to make the Sweet 16.
Scenario 2: We lose in Chapel Hill on Tuesday. We win the ACC regular season, but lose in the semifinals of the ACC tournament to either UNC or Duke. We make our first program Final Four, but do not win the national championship.
As a long-suffering Tiger Basketball fan, I'm taking Scenario 1 all day long. How about you?

Never mind either one of those choices! ...

I would take a win over UNC in Chapel Hill ... PERIOD! ... and not worry much about how the rest of the season played out.
Seriously!
Those long-suffering fans who disagree, just haven't suffered nearly as long as I have.

of jinxing whatever chance we may have. I haven't watched an entire game between the two team in years and doubt seriously it'll be any different this season. Don't want the situation to devolve into hiring a witchdoctor to remove a curse like another one of our rivals did
Other than that, the annual remembrance doesn't affect me in the least--------wonder which former players the 'holes will bring in this season to exhort this year's unc squad to continue the streak??

I would take 2. Yes the streak is big but I would rather make it to the final four than beat UNC.

Final Four may yield better recruits down the road.

I'd rather beat UNC for a Final Four or National Title berth, than worry about CH. If I can have both, then greed is good! Gordon said so...

1 is attractive. But, it would be funny to take that away from our little brothers in the midstate.

One game at a time and I really want to break the streak Tuesday. I’m going greedy with it and I want to do it with a statement that we are finished with that nonsense

The stupid streak in Chapel Hole is meaningless. It's just something for morons to talk about every year, and it really doesn't matter.
Final 4? Hell yes!

in the postseason, which is tougher and a bigger deal than winning a regular season game in chapel hill.
So the streak is null and void anyway. There you go.

The way we win in Chapel Hill is simple

----- none of us diehard Tiger fans tune in to watch the game. Then we win and all of us regret the fact that we missed the end to the longest misery in Clemson history.
