I would like to thank our coaches and players


Mar 8, 2020, 9:36 PM

for competing so hard this year. It’s been a challenging year in terms of youth, inexperience, and injuries, but this team never quit. Although it has been frustrating at times to lose some games we don’t feel we should’ve, it’s been great watching this team improve and have some of the best wins in our program’s history.

Keep working hard, guys. Finishing 8th out of 15 ACC teams in a rebuilding year with all of the challenges we have had is an accomplishment for sure. Your best basketball is ahead of you! Go Tigers!

of course, he hasn't seen ACC-type players.. but he went for 20 against OK State and 12 vs Kansas

There were a lot of exciting moments. Some disappointing. But the good outweighed the bad and the future looks bright. Dawes and Newman really have shown flashes of being really good. If Simms can continue ro develop as a leader and get some help up front next season it should be a lot of fun. Add in a fully healthy Trapp, Hunter and Hemenway. Good things to come.

If you're a fan of Clemson basketball, you have to be a fan of who we are. Delusional is a fan that is a fan of who they think we should be. That is a fan of unreality. Being a fan of that non-existing team that outside of a rare glitch wins 'um all ain't a realist. Back in the day we were fans of players and team that played their heart out. That's all you can expect, and Clemson has been that. More is delusional.

Re: I would like to thank our coaches and players


Mar 9, 2020, 5:47 AM

Judge, you sound like you have cashed in the year! You don't think miracles are in our future?

I would like to express and thank my Tigers to express my fandom and the players hard work! I got lost in the coaches comments multiple times this year after we played a great game to beat the best then lost to the bottom dwellers.

I can only attribute this to the (Lack of better terms) Coach Tommy Bowden syndrome? This randomness of winning top level games and losing to our lowest competitors is nothing less than coaching. If we beat one top 5 team this year, yeah that's just an off night. To beat multiple top teams in season shows that the talent was there but the coaching likely didnt elevate their attention to detail for lower level teams as Brownell eluded to in a post conference.

Wish our team had a better finish because I do believe they are NCAA worthy but we can always use the Coot Mantra, "Wait til next year!".

Right or wrong? I think it's time for a change. CBB is not a fan's coach and he isn't getting it done. Even if we had more of a fan's coach, at least we could get the program where students want to make noise and fans will be interested. Purnell at least kept the LJ 75% filled with less facilities but we always felt like we were close.

Hell, any mid level coach making less money could get us close to .500 and not get to post season. But if he had a fans personality, it would be better for Clemson. Just my .02

Time for a change. Brownell would be great for mid-level schools. He could work the transfer Port-a-let and keep them in contention to win the Socon, WAC, Mid-Atlantic, etc.

You’ll need to take your ranking concerns up with the ACC...


Mar 10, 2020, 7:52 AM

I don’t determine the standings, they do. And I’m not sure how providing a link to the official standings makes me negative about Clemson basketball. You provided bad info, again. No need to do that. Let the team’s achievements speak for themselves. Like you said, 8th is only one spot better than 9th, no real gain made by fudging the standings. And if it was a simple error on your part, no problem, just say so. Why double down on it when the facts are not debatable?

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, I like CBB, and think he deserves a ton of credit for what he’s been able to do while at Clemson. In fact, I think he deserves another year. However, I also think it hurts CBB more than it helps him when you, or anyone else, make things up in an effort to validate him. Let his resume stand on its own. Why is that so difficult?

I don't have a ranking concern. The ACC has seeded us 8th


Mar 10, 2020, 1:23 PM

for the tournament. That is a fact.

It's obviously very important to you that:

A. You point out my "error" and
B. You let everyone know that we finished 9th instead of 8th.

I did not make anything up. I was going by our ACC Tournament seeding, which is clearly based on order of finish during the regular season, after accounting for ties (and in this case, teams such as GT that are not eligible for the postseason).

I hope you don't actually believe that someone posting our ACC Tournament seed of 8th, rather than our regular season finish of 9th, harms Brownell or our basketball program in any way.

and it will go down in the ACC record books as 9th no matter what you want to tell yourself. The ACCT has no bearing on regular season standings. They simply chose to sitout the tournament to end any future punishment, they werent actually required to or given any sanctions saying they cant. Had they filed an appeal, they could have participated and the sanctions would have been placed on next years team. Had they participated, they would not have been forced to vacate any wins pending result of appeal. The sanctions would have just been placed on next year. They wanted to just get out in front of this and end it now.

-Brad is our winningest men's basketball coach (which is downplayed because "he's been here longer than others.")
-we beat three top 6 teams for the first time in 40 years (which is downplayed because "we're so inconsistent.")
-we finished in the middle of the pack (which is downplayed because "the ACC is so weak this year.")

If some people fought as hard for the truth in all situations, rather than just when it fits their argument/agenda, then perhaps their true support for the basketball program wouldn't be in question.

Brad is also our losingest(is that a word?) men's basketball coach. Just saying...

With 8 being the dead center, 7 teams are ranked above and 7 teams are ranked below. Depending on how one wants to group the middle of the pack, the middle of the pack could be teams 7-9 or even teams 6-10. Regardless, the team who is #8 is in the middle.

If you include the team ranked 7, then you have to include the team ranked 9 or else you're wrong.

It's clear that you are going to great lengths to discredit our basketball program. You don't want us to be middle of the pack this year, because that would mean you have to say something positive about our program and be positive for once. You clearly aren't able to do that.

7.5 is not dead center. 8th is...7 teams are above 8th place, and 7 teams are below 8th place.

Let's make this even more simple...

1
2
3

Is 1.5 the center of that 3-team pack, or is 2 the center?

Mar 10, 2020, 1:25 PM [ in reply to Funny how facts don't seem to matter when ]

can you honestly say the things in parenthesis aren't true?

No one can take away that we beat UNC at their place for the first time ever, they were down this year but it still was a landmark event. No other Clemson team can be the first ever anymore.

Brownell is in fact the winningest coach but yes he has most definitely been here 10 years

We beat 3 top 6 teams and lost to some of the worst. That's absolutely inconsistent. Again beating those 3 in the same season is a big deal.

We did finish middle of the pack in a somewhat weaker than normal league but it exceeded the medias preseason rankings.

I think we exceeded overall expectations no doubt, but you have to ask yourself.....If we can Beat Duke, Louisville, and FSU why can't we beat Va Tech, GT, Wake etc.

I sincerely hope the two new guys come in and with the experience some of our younger guys got this year can make next year something special. it is however starting to feel crazy when we are consistently saying maybe next year.

Mar 10, 2020, 2:44 PM [ in reply to And, to bring this ridiculous thread full circle ]

we were the 9th seed based on regular season, since GT didnt vacate wins. Rather than award the 12/13th winner with an undeserved bye and lose a Wednesday game, the ACC simply moved everyone up a spot. Doesnt mean we are magically 8th. Technically speaking, GT should have been seeded 5th and the brackets should have been made. Then GT would have simply forfeited their game and the winner of the 12/13 matchup would have moved on by way of forfeit. Since the ACC knew in advance GT was declaring itself ineligible, in the spirit of fairness to the 6-11 seeded teams and not technically what should have happened, they simply moved everyone up and eliminated a Tuesday game. In ACC minds it would not have been fair to the 6-11 seeds to give the 12/13 seeds a bye.

To illustrate my point, if GT had not announced it was self imposing before hand and simply showed up the day of the game and forfeited, they would have absolutely been the 5th seed bumping everyone back to their proper place.

I didn't make anything up. We did finish 8th based on our tournament seeding, which is just as true as us finishing 9th in the regular season based on pre-tournament seedings. This shouldn't be so complicated, but true to form, some people are making it so.

We are seeded 8th in the tournament, which is based on regular season performance after accounting for tiebreakers and, in this case, teams not participating in the postseason.

If we finished in a three way tie for 5th, but based on tiebreakers we were seeded 6th or 7th, I can guarantee you that many people here would be talking about us finishing 6th or 7th and not saying that we finished 5th.

The conference tournament ranking/seeding should be considered at least as important as the regular season finish, if not more important, since the tournament is the vehicle by which we determine the ACC Champion.

Ok snowflake. Please point to JK "lashing out".

Was it when Danny Ford said ### is wrong with you people and JK responded with

"Whining and complaining and being negative in general is no way to live life."

Or was it when he said this

"Why are you fighting so hard to make us 9th. The difference in one spot doesn’t matter, other than to show that you would rather be “right” than be positive about Clemson basketball."

Man, JK lashes out so hard. He's like a #### honey badger! Can't believe he would lash out like this.

"Silly me for pulling for our team and painting their performance in the best light. That’s what we all do when it comes to football. Why not basketball?!?"

But that is not enough. This was the final straw when it comes to lashing out

"I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to fire Brad, that's their opinion."

Also, link to Karen acknowledging she's wrong?

Link to where I said I was defending a false narrative? I think the word I used was "nobody" is defending a false narrative. But who really cares.

JK said the following

"Silly me for pulling for our team and painting their performance in the best light. That’s what we all do when it comes to football. Why not basketball?!?"

Simple reasoning shows that he understands that we were 9th in regular season and 8th in the tourney. But I don't expect you to understand that.

Anyways, have a good day. I'm done arguing BS semantics with you. Apparently you enjoy this.

"You're creating a false narrative that I'm defending a false narrative!"

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, this would've gone away quickly had Karen just admitted to being wrong. Instead, in true Karen fashion, she decided to "argue" with those explaining the FACTS, while attempting to make herself the victim.

See ya, snowflake.

P.S. I try to keep politics off of the boards, but I bet you feel the Bern, don't you?

Isn't it amazing that people who claim to love Clemson and want to see the program succeed are fighting so hard for us actually finishing 9th instead of 8th?!?

If it makes you feel better to say that we're 9th, go ahead. My point still stands - I'm proud of our team, they've worked really hard, they overcame adversity, and finished in the middle of the pack in the ACC in a rebuilding year.

Sadly, you and your pals care more about arguing over 8 versus 9, and crowning yourselves as champions of truth, than focusing on the point of the post, which was to recognize our team's effort during the regular season. I bet it's depressing living life with such a negative outlook.

My summary of CLEMSON basketball:
I pull for every CLEMSON team, regardless of sport. Some I pull for harder because the sport just matters more to me. My top 3 would of course be FOOTBALL(we are the best in the country as a program right now), Men's Basketball and now Women's Softball. Two of the three I am overjoyed about, Football and Softball, softball for 2 reasons, one we finally have joined the modern world in the south and fielded a team and the other is that they are really fun to watch and are only gonna get better. They will be a force nationally sooner rather than later.
Now onto our albatross, our men's basketball team can play like world beaters on Tuesday, then play like absolute garbage on Thursday. A coach can only do so much, players have to show up ready to play, motivated, and actually understand the game. Watching us play this season I sometimes marveled at they way we moved on offense, passed the ball to the open man and then converted. Then there were days I wanted to turn the TV to ####### cause that's how we were playing. Players throwing up three's with nary a rebounder in site, players sprinting down the court after a shot without seeing if it went in, and the biggest fault I have is that there is no way in hell should players who can't shot free throws with at least 65% accuracy should never be on the court in the last 5 minutes of a game.
I like CBB, and I believe he is a good not great coach, but much of this falls on his shoulders because ultimately the HC is in charge. I don't know if this is the year to make a change, but I do know that at some point when no progress is being made a change has to come. I feel that 2021 should be, barring catastrophic injuries, a make the tournament or thank you for your service year.

Pre season rankings ...


Mar 10, 2020, 2:08 PM

Why is it that I keep reading we have exceeded all these expectations this year with what we had? Why so much out into pre season rankings or expectations ... we obviously had the talent to compete when we beat Duke, Louisville, and FSU which I don’t think ppl expected pre season . Same as UNC having a lot of first place votes and being number 2 pre season and we see what happened with that. We were pegged 11th preseason and finished 9th... not exceeding expectations really IMO but what the media says pre season is irrelevant, we proved we could play with anyone but just were WAY too inconsistent ... point is I don’t agree with it being some great accomplishment bc we finished 2 spots ahead of where the media expected us to... we should have been much higher with the way we played at times . I think BB should have been gone 5 years ago but at this point will agree he should at least get next year and no doubt if we aren’t in the tourney he’s gone... I can see the potential with a few players development this year and should only get better. If we could just skip the first couple games in the ACC tourney I think we could win the thing, unfortunately we have to play equal to lesser talent to get there and we saw how that went all year
