Just happy we made it?
A few wins?
Sweet 16 or Elite 8?
Beyond that??
Remember, there were zero expectations that this team would even make it this far so I’m curious to see if the opinion has changed. I personally wouldn’t mind making it to the Sweet 16 but I’m not sure that’ll happen. What’s it gonna take for some of the Brownell haters to shut it? Better yet, what happens if we lose round 1????
I’m personally happy to be in the conversation and will accept any result. I’m proud of this bunch of guys for bringing excitement back into Clemson hoops. This team has crushed expectations, what say you?

A first round victory.....

to get us into the field of 32.
That is a fair expectation. We are certainly due.
I would love to advance in the tournament and go to the sweet 16 and beyond.
But that is not an expectation. It is a realistic hope though. This team can play with anybody.
If Grantham was healthy, it might have been an expectation to be in the sweet 16.

I'm with you. I'll be disappointed with a loss in the first round. I'd be ecstatic making it to sweet 16.
We've played better lately, but missing your best player hurts a bit.

I expected us to be pretty dang good this year. I thought 13th in the ACC preseason was disrespectful. Now I would have took our record right now all day if you told me at the start this is what it would be. I expect to make the sweet 16. I believe if we get hot and get the right matchups we could make a serious run.

so many years. I just wanted to be a part again of March madness as a participant and not just a spectator. I would love to win a game but really just happy to be there. Should we win a few games, all the better.

Very true. The only bad thing is in years past we have messed my bracket up. Hopefully this year we go as far as I pick us to. I will for sure make one where we win it all.

Sweet 16 would be awesome but just get past the 64 round. Let's make a good showing in the acct too first.

Especially if we go in as a 4-5 seed it would be a let down not to win atleast 1 game

I’m happy to be actually playing in the tournament. With that said a recipe for success in March is great guard play and we have that.
If Reed, Devoe, and Mitchell get hot together this could be a sweet 16 or better team. Opposite of that they go cold not sure we can win a game from post play style.

I think you are on it here. NCAA is a guard tournament and we have some good ones. They can take us a long way. Sweet 16 is a possibility.

Win in the first round is my expectation. Sweet 16 appearance would be the icing on the cake. I just can't wait to finally be able to fill out a bracket taking Clemson to the 'ship!

But at this point, a 1st round loss would be a disappointment

when they are playing smart, i have no doubt the Tigers are one of the best 16 teams in the country
elite 8 would be a great run
they have a chance to tie/break the record for wins in a season... need /34 more

At Least Sweet 16 and the reason why ...
Mar 2, 2018, 12:01 PM
|
|
Our first game in the NCCAT should be against a "weak" team. Now nobody is "weak" per se in the Tournament but that first game should be doable ...
Second game will be the first challenge (assuming we don't take the first game lightly). But we have shown we can hang with anybody. UVa game was a fluke ... right after DG got hurt and we were in process of readjusting
We now have adjusted.
I expect us to be still in second weekend.
