Auburn will win this game, but I think they're in real trouble against Creighton.

 

[BugsyCT]

Clemson has 8 points 14 minutes into the game against McNeese.

The white guy with the Afro may be the worst D1 player I've ever seen. And I saw Kwinten WIlliams.

Clemson is awful, ACC so overrated.

To be fair, everyone was saying they were trash all year. I wonder how they could've added a strong program? I know they thought they'd be winning national championships with the addition of Stanford and Cal, but I guess they didn't know they wouldn't be in basketball (or football).

Charles Barkley calling Kenny "Fox News" for picking UNC to win the whole tournament lol

Williams was much better at midnight madness.

McNeese is looking like the 5 and Clemson the 12

I didn’t realize the Acc was this bad

 

[BugsyCT]

Holy crap - 31-13 McNeese at halftime. 13 points for Clemson is freshmen high school bad.

 

[NHUConnfan]

That was one of the worst halves (Clemson) I've ever seen from a power conference team in the NCAAT. Absolutely dreadful.

It’s clear that the ACC is not very good at basketball. Hoping for 1-3 in the first round. It’s possible that only one team deserved an invite.

 

[DW1361]

Makes me sick that Clemson is a 5. McNeese is an experienced team, but still, they make the committee look pretty ridiculous.

 

[HuskyHawk]

VCU vs BYU is much better basketball. It's tight as you'd expect.

 

[tzznandrew]

Purdue also lost to #1 seed UConn in 2009.

I said this during our run last year -- it is incredible that we are a white whale for so many programs (SDSU, Purdue, Washington, probably others I'm forgetting) while we don't even think about them. Like the Thanos "I don't even know who you are" meme.

Yeah, I only picked the most recent.

 

[DW1361]

I really think Creighton will take Down the top #1. Loving the way the BE looks so far compared to what I have seen from the others so far.

 

[BugsyCT]

Chuckster on Clemson having 13 pts: "The ACC is not a good basketball conference. Let's get that out of the way."

LOL

Two things help prepare BE teams for tourney time.

1. It's physical - so they are more used to being bumped, slapped, etc.
2. Top to bottom, the BE has the best coaching.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Dook.

God, that was a bad oversight.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Two 18-2 ACC teams getting stomped really tells you something.

 

[FLDawg16]

Keita on BYU has some gnarly shoulders jeez

 

[ctbro1999]

I think Clemson just set the sport of basketball back 30 years.

 

[Mets1432]

I feel pretty stupid for putting Clemson in my sweet 16, they just aren't very good.

 

[ninety-nine]

Dook.

The difference is, we do think about Duke sometimes. They're on our radar, and they've beaten us three times in the tournament, albeit a long time ago.

The ACC is doing a wonderful job of soiling itself so far. WOW, does Clemson look absolutely horrific. EMBARRASSING!

Louisville AND Clemson both went 18-2 in that league. That is legitimately pathetic.

We would have looked like world beaters and been a 1 or 2 seed if we played against such weak-ass competition all year. I picked Duke to lose before the Final 4 for this exact reason... take the letters A-C-C from the front of this conference and they look like the whole league belonged in the A-A-C this year.

Little wonder that SMU ended up tied for 3rd while "stepping up in competition" from that same AAC. What a horror show they have become! Couldn't have happened to a finer group of snooty-patootie schools either.

And BC, Pitt and that Orange school in Canada couldn't even sniff .500 in this conference? LMAO!

 

[navery12]

I hate all my friends who somehow convinced me the ACC wasn't that bad and I should pick Clemson. Because they are in fact that bad
