The definition of awesome!


Re: Why do you whitewash the ending sequence?

Mitchell was obviously fouled and knocked to the ground with a no call. He should have been shooting free throws.

Bigger question, why didn't Brownell raise H#ll?


Mar 3, 2019, 5:30 AM

I think Dabo would have? I think Brownell failure to take up for his players is a big fault!

the contact, he most likely would have gotten the call. He was losing the ball prior to contact. Yes UNC would have gotten the call no matter what if things were reversed, but what's new.

I'm feeling sorry for our team. Played well and hard. Everyone knows a foul was committed with approximately 2 seconds left. A very tough loss.

We won nearly all stats in the box score...


Mar 3, 2019, 8:27 AM

...except for rebounding. Specifically offensive rebounding. I don't believe in the philosophy of sending everyone back after a shot unless someone is rotating by the board. Same fault as putting 0 or 1 in for free throws. If we can run the court on offense, we can run the court on defense. We're giving up enough opportunities (ie points) to overcome all of these close losses. If we're in March and we don't know who to pick up in transition, that's also on coaching.

Refs were historically bad in this one too, but that will continue to be as long as a bottom dweller/lower mid pack is playing a blue blood. I remember it during the Bowden years it was similar in football. Ron Cherry anyone?

Bottom line, if you don't have equal talent, you have to be aggressive, or break tendency. Brownell's conservatism hurts our program in multiple ways.

PS - props to Trapp, great game! To show I'm not one sided... great play call by Brownell after a free throw to Reed on a back door cut ("57" called multiple times by Mitchell) I've never seen us run that, and it worked beautifully!

"TNET: Last-chance effort gets knocked on its ### but no whistles blown as No. 5 UNCheat buys yet another win over the Tigers."

Thank you BengalBilly. Glad some one can write the appropriate title.

the way the game actually ended!

I’m pretty sure those fargon bastage refs were wearing baby blue Roy Williams underwear underneath their “referee costumes.”

"Gamecocks aren’t ready to take college football by storm just yet. They’re not even ready to compete in their own state – Clemson will still own the territory. Gamecocks fans would be smart to keep their heads buried until that time. Avoid talking trash to a much better Clemson program.” -Dustin Tackett


Clemson is never, EVER going to get that call vs UNC


Mar 3, 2019, 7:16 PM

It’s just not going to happen.

Much higher percentage to try to get a decent look from three point range for the win.
