It's next level this year though. Brownell came into this season with zero all time victories against top 5 teams. He's about to do it twice this season (while losing 3 times to sub-100 RPI teams). Absolutely maddening. Flip those three games and we're 4th in the conference, hovering around the top 25 and a solid 7 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Several injuries this year, a lot of freshman getting a ton of minutes and a transfer learning to fit in adds up to inconsistency. Considering our record...it's been an exciting season and yet we have practically no chance for the dance.

If this team goes 18-12 or 17-13 this season. I say CBB did a heck of a job this year. With everyone back next season, no excuse not to be a top half ACC team . There is no reason we can’t win our last 5 games . They probably won’t but today’s win could be a big shot in the arm.

That's 6-0, 5-1 to close out

Yes, that would be a great job! His question has always been can we follow up a performance like tonight against a BC or Tech who we have soon?
I've said the NIT would be a real accomplishment for this team with its youth and injuries. Can we maintain the consistency to actually achieve it has always been the question?

If they finish the year playing good ball that’s all you can ask . Like you said this season was a complete rebuild

Freshman accounted for 20% of scoring and and juniors were our 2 leading scorers but it is a “complete rebuild” season. I would hate to see an actual rebuild.

We lost almost all of our scoring and rebounding from last year’s team.

We returned one starter, and on top of that, we have a lot of new faces PLUS we’ve had a ton of injuries.
This year shows what a good job Brownell has done and how hard these players have worked. It’s too bad you can’t appreciate that!

College basketball has so much to do with matchups and timing. Just because Wake is a much worse team than Louisville doesn't mean going on the road to play Wake in the middle of them playing pretty well and with Wake playing a matchup zone that gave Clemson trouble at home. Along with them having a defensively active 7 foot big man which has also seemed to give Simms and Clemson trouble this year. There is so much more to it then how can they lose to this crappy team and beat this good one. Matchups, timing, injuries, illness. So it will be nice if people stop with that at some point and accept the fact that it's much more complicated than that. And always has been.

blown way out of proportion on here.
College basketball teams have ups and downs. Heck, basketball teams in general, at every level, have ups and downs. The fact that we sometimes play lights out and other times play poorly isn’t unique to us.
Look at the top 25. With very few exceptions, every team there has at least a game or two where they played poorly and lost. It doesn’t mean that they have a bad coach or that they aren’t disciplined or that something is wrong. It’s the nature of basketball, especially basketball played by 18-22 year-olds.

It’s not and I’ve posted numbers proving it and you’ve igonored them so whatever. You’re another bandwagon fan like everyone else now.

Vis-Vag, you could statistically prove that aliens control the government, but you’ll still be a meg-a-douche.

egg every game so i wouldn’t have to be so confused all the time. It’s crazy to me that fans are still stuck on that Wake Forest game, people, listen it happens, we are a young team sometimes we’re gonna lose games we shouldn’t. But it happens to all teams, look at Duke, they’re probably gonna win the ACC and they lost you SFA early in the season. If think you’re gonna win all the games you’re favored you don’t know much about basketball.
