That's fools gold. Just when you think BB has turned the corner, he wilts down the home stretch. These two consecutive wins that unexpectedly came are very deceptive. He's done this for 14 years, remember that. The Tigers have 8 games remaining in the regular season then the ACC Tournament. They are 16-7 overall, 6-6 in the conference. From what I can see in the schedule, no way they go through the rest of the way winning all 8 games. That's just not BB's legacy at Clemson. Historically, he falters after winning in the ACC after 2 consecutive wins this late in the year. I see 4-4 the rest of the way, or possibly 5-3. This puts them at 20-11, or 21-10 before the ACC tournament, with a 11-9 or 10-10 conference record. In order to get to March Madness, Clemson has to at least get to the finals in order to get an NCAA bid. There are just too many teams in the country with better conference records who have 20 wins. Under BB, they HISTORICALLY don't get to the ACC finals. This is his history coaching there, and history tends to repeat itself after so many years of the same results. His pattern historically tells me that. If BB wins the remainder his regular season games, Clemson is in. That's a 24-7 record, and a 14-6 conference record. That's a sure NCAA bid. But we know his pattern, so running the table is not in the cards. History is a great teacher, and 13 years of repeat performances says a lot. Yes, history is a great teacher.

Linardi said on ESPN last Saturday Clemson is in and that the committee does not consider conference record as an element for selection. The non-conference strength of schedule is good. Alabama and South Carolina continue to win. Boise State is in the mix. This team may lose a game or two down the stretch but, to your dismay, there will not be a total collapse. Clemson gets in the tournament, Brownell gets and extension and the Lunatic Fringe Clubhouse burns down.

From Brandon Rink:

Record: 16-7
Road/neutral record: 8-4
Strength of schedule: 8
Record vs. NET Quadrant 1: 4-5 (Wins: 85-77 at No. 5 Alabama; 80-76 at No. 10 UNC; 74-66 versus No. 42 TCU; 79-70 at No. 60 Pitt)
Quadrant 3/4 losses: 1 (93-90 to No. 140 GT at home)
Result-based metric average: 14.5
Predictive metric average rank: 30
NET ranking: 30
Non-conference record: 10-1

This resume does not get left out of the tournament.

I'm thinking 3-5 seed. Especially if the ACCT final is close. Let's hope it
