Hello, well educated basketball fans!

Last year, Duke had 4 losses as the first place ACC team. The second place team had 5 losses.
We are likely looking at 3-4 more losses in conference at a minimum. Which of our remaining games would be acceptable to lose? Are your expectations to win every single basketball game and go undefeated?
These game below are all games we very well could lose. We may even drop one that we shouldn't lose!
@NC State @UNC @UVA Miami And even one of BC, FSU, Louisville on the road

Clemson is currently 15-4 overall and 7-1 in the ACC...

with twelve games remaining.
Let's look at the remaining games objectively;
VT - W GT - W @ FSU - toss-up @ BC - W Miami - toss-up @ UNC - L FSU - W @ UL - W Cuse - W @ NCSU - toss-up @ UVA - L ND - W
I had both the Duke game and the Wake game as toss-ups as well and, as you know, Clemson won one and lost one.
Winning 7 or 8 of the remaining games is still a realistic possibility (which would entail losing all of the remaining three toss-up games in addition to losing at UNC and at UVa). Should that occur, Clemson would finish the regular season with either a 22-9 or a 23-8 record overall and either 14-6 or 15-5 in ACC play. That also keeps Clemson firmly in the NCAAT discussion and likely a top four seed with a bye in the ACCT.
Of course, they'll need to play better (MUCH BETTER) than they did last night for that to happen.

Yes I agree with your take on the schedule. That also assumes chase hunter is back and healthy.

I called for a 15-5 ACC record in your last post. We should finish January 11-1 or 10-2, either of which iwould be phenomenal. As we all know, anything can happen in roundball (hot-cold nights, injuries, teams gel, etc).. Go Tigers!

Lose in the first round like OP did every single year yet he has praised cause his style of play could blow out weak teams early in the season?

It blows my mind how people talk so favorably of OP and so negatively of BB.

I liked OP while he was here. I didn't want him to leave when he did. He peaked at Clemson, and his style of play didn't work come tourney time.
He also didn't leave Clemson in very good shape long term

Do you have to have a “doctorate” to reply?

I would be “giddy” with only 5 conference losses.

I don’t like making predictions. I think the conference is probably as competitive as it has been in a long time and when that happens home court means a lot. Winning on the road is going to be tough against any team. We need to play one game at a time and maybe adopt Dabo’s philosophy that the next game is the biggest game of the year. Right now I’m just having fun watching our Tigers compete every game.

Then a Paramount mini-series will be made about this season, much like “Yellowstone”. Brad Pitt to play Coach Brownell.
Remember, you heard it first on TigerNet !

If healthy we can win every game imo. I will be happy if we win half of our remaining regular season games tho.

Since you called me out ha, there are only two players in our line up that can create their own shot, and one of them was missing last night. Don’t know why all these people are hitting the panic button over 7-1.

I wd love to be wrong. But based upon the history under the Big Brown L (loser?) I am guessing our team goes 4-8. I only see us winning at home vs VaT and ND and road games at GaT and BC.
Every year there is a period of great wins followed by player injuries and head-shaking losing streaks. I wd love 2 be wrong. But we hv all been here before. Is 19-12 a good season? Followed by a first game loss in the ACCT and a win and loss in another tournament. Is 20-15 okay?
