Arizona got outplayed and out-coached … Ags are better than Clemson

Brownell has been at Clemson 14 years, this is his second Sweet 16 and first Elite 8.

Clemson has been good all season. They won at Chapel Hill for the 2nd time ever, and the refs took one from them at Cameron with a late flagrant foul. They have earned their spot.

It's almost tradition. Except for that one year.
I almost quit doing brackets bc the first couple of years I did. They were highly ranked and pulled Purdues. Long time ago.

He had two tourney wins total coming into this year. But now he has an Elite 8, so I guess it depends on how you score these things.

prob the most impressive wins in the bracket, UNM and Baylor had crazy potent guard trios, Zona rosters way more talent across the board
CFP matchup next?

I'm a Clemson grad, and elated to be in the Elite 8 for the second time ever.
Clemson is in basketball the way Wake or NC State are in football...not bad but not great. Occasionally you get that one experienced team that can make a run and you hope to take advantage of it. That is this year's team. Should have been in the tourney last year too, but for some reason the media started hating on the ACC in basketball, which is a head scratcher.

Clemson is an easy team to root for. They looked hella good in person in Memphis and even when it got close tonight, it never felt like they'd lose, same with the Baylor game

Brownell making a Final Four would be incredible. Dude has been the pinnacle of "just good enough to not get fired" for more than a decade.
10:33p, 3/28/24
I saw them twice in person in Memphis and they surprised the heck out of me with how all-around good they were. If I hadn't been distracted by Aggie baseball tonight I would have jumped to put a bet on them +9.5 in this game.
They're an easy team to overlook because of how they look on the hoof, but they are a well-balanced team.

Older boy and I met the dad of Clemson's guard (#11 Gerard?) on Beale Street last weekend. Good dude, so we decided to support Clemson for no other reason.

Have to think we could have continued to have done some damage if we got past Houston with this group. Would have been even more fun.....

LOS ANGELES -- The skeptics have been after the underrated mastermind for years. Despite squeezing the absolute most possible out of the poverty-stricken Clemson basketball program, demonstrated by their impressive two NCAA Tournament wins since the Obama administration, it wasn't enough for the dozens of fans. Now, it's good his name is Brownell instead of Brownel because he's got an extra "L" to give out to the haters.
Deserving of the coming contract that will likely make him one of the highest paid coaches in college basketball...
