I know Clemson basketball is good. Deptula just said Elite 8 this year

I have long given up on UGA ever having a good basketball program, but Clemson actually is a solid program that can compete. Georgia can lay claim to possibly having the worst basketball program in the SEC. 1983 seems like 40 years ago
Are the Tigers as good as Walt suggests? I certainly will be pulling for them

After losing to Morehead St. in the 1st round of the NIT, even that seems like a stretch.

What LOVES him some Brownell and yes every year it's a Sweet 16/Elite 8 run for Clemson basketball.

To be honest we got completely screwed by the tournament committee. It was an absolute disgrace we were left out. Especially when a NC State team, who we crushed 3 times, made it. I believe we would’ve won at least a game in the tournament. Clemson did not care about the NIT.

Several of us provided clear statistical reasons why Clemson would not make the NCAAT. The numbers and historical significance of those numbers made it quite obvious we would be left out. And that's exactly what happened.
Comparing to NCSU makes it "feel" worse, but the bottom line is that we did not have a tournament-worthy resume.
If you are insinuating that we lost in the NIT because of a lack of enthusiasm, that's 100% on Brownell.

That’s bs. Our record alone was enough to get us in the tournament. The quad system needs to go. We were worthy of the tournament last year and got screwed

No, we weren't. You can't lose 3 games to absolutely pitiful teams and expect to get in anyway. Strength of schedule and strength of record has to mean something when you are trying to reduce 350 teams down to a field of 68.
In football terms - just saying "our record alone was enough" would be like putting UCF in the Natty a few years ago. Just because they had a good record doesn't mean they were worthy of the title.

We had losses to 3 win Louisville, Loyola Chicago, SCAR, and Morehouse State. How on earth can anyone say that is a NCAA basketball team? Deptula is an idiot that doesn't know basketball. Don't be like him.

I used to listen to Walt, but his ego and desire to insult people that don't carry his view is absurd. I mainly just turn on Qualks show and occasionally will listen to Mickey.

Walt says they’re going to be good every year. He’s been right once in 12 years. If you say it every year you’re bound to get it right once. brownLLL still the coach so will see.

Deptula somehow ended up on Brad’s payroll. There is no way that dude believes what he says about Clemson basketball. He called them to win the ACC last year. I almost died laughing

If you feel even an inkling of desire to place a bet greater than $0.10 on whether the Clemson Tigers men’s basketball team will be selected to the NCAA tournament, please sign over power of attorney to one of your immediate relatives to have you admitted to the nearest mental hospital when such a feeling is actually manifested.
Geez, the nerve of some people!

make the NCAA tournament first and then we can talk about how far they can make a run this year. The key is to actually qualify for the tourney which has been our kryptonite for the last few years.

Elite eight might be a little exuberant but it would be nice. I’m not anti Brownell and certainly not anti Dabo. Fans should be smart enough to know it’s incredibly difficult to keep finishing in the top four forever. Good luck to your Bulldogs! I think you might win another natty.

Yeah, but give your new coach Mike White a little more time. he has only been there one season and already improved the Dogs a lot in wins at 16. they now have a top 15 recruiting class coming in this season. When is the last time coach Brownell had a top 15 recruiting class...?

Winning the ACC tournament for THE FIRST TIME EVER would be nice. If you were at the Duke game you would have seen 80% of the people in line for a Cameron Indoor tour wearing orange. That’s “best is the standard”.

Clemson, despite my misgivings about Brownell, should be very good this year. They return PJ Hall and Chase Hunter and add Joe Girard from Syracuse out of the portal. Add in the freshmen getting another offseason in the weight room and conditioning, as well as a couple of other nice portal pieces, and it really should be a good basketball team.
However, I would never put a lot of stock in what Deptula says. He is like North Korean state media when it comes to Brownell. Regardless of the facts, he is going to say Brownell is a genius and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.
All that said, this had better actually be make-or-break for Brownell. There is ZERO reason this year's team shouldn't be an NCAAT team at bare minimum. Honestly, I'll be disappointed if they don't win a game or two. Falling ass-backwards into the tournament is not enough IMO.

How about we actually make the tournament first? I refuse to get excited about Clemson basketball until they actually win some games. We have been here with Brownell before.
