OT: Is there any team that has worse luck than Clemson?

[Travelman6]

This team is right there in so many games.

They have losses by 6, 6, 3, 5, 4, 1, 1, 2, 6, 1 and 2. My god, that is rough.

Those loses include Xavier, UNC, NDame, Virginia, VTech, cuse, duke, miami, VTech and FSU.

Imagine if they get less than half of those (5-6), they would be 19-8 instead of 14-14 and right in the thick of things for a top 10 seed. Basically all of those teams they lost to by 6 or less are tourney teams except for Oklahoma which I admit is an awful loss.

Not sure if there is another team in recent history that has had as much tough luck as Clemson, really crushing IMO. I think they are 3-11 in games decided by 6 or less.

Yes, UConn.

 

[Travelman6]

I think Uconn is 6-6 in games decided by less than 6. BUT, as far as injuries not many teams can claim to have as much rough luck as Uconn, true.

Bad teams lose games in bad ways.

Clemson's not unlucky, they're just not good.

My you paint some things with the widest of brushes

Very rough and unfortunate for them but their other 3 losses are by a total of 92 points

I believe wvu has the slimmest margin of defeat in the country at 3.7.

Tate George did them in. Bad bb karma ever since.

Their opponents are shooting 77% from the foul line on the year. That's pretty unlucky, considering it's the highest % in the country. You can control that somewhat, but only to an extent.

hmmm, that is an interesting stat. I wonder what the national average is for FT% in that regard.

The median is around 70%.
