To be fair, Clemson hadn't won a tournament game since the Truman administration, so they probably figured the Tuesday game would be decided by halftime.

 

Clemson went to the Sweet Sixteen in 1997, losing in double overtime to Minnesota (who proceeded to go to the Final Four).

Yes but now Oliver Prunell is coaching at the one place where his inability to win an NCAA game his entire career won't hurt him. So it only seemed natural that Clemson would win the other night.

Clemson may have lost a coach, but they ended up with a huge coaching upgrade. Brownell is excellent. Of course, I'm biased as he went to my high school (though years before me).

Brownell is an excellent in game coach, but he is still winning with Purnell's guys. To win at a high major, you have to be able to recruit. It's a hell of a lot more important than being a good coach.

For sure. He's going to have prove he can recruit at an ACC level. He seems to be off to a solid start; regardless, I'd take him over Purnell.

Not surprising because nearly every sports web site is blocked but MMOD is blocked at work.

Any Clemson fan cringes at the name of Tate George. I can't believe that was over 20 years ago at this point.

 

 

As far as going from Purnell to Brownlee, I do think it's going to be an upgrade for Clemson. I think he may struggle a bit in recruiting at first for them, but I do agree that he's just a great teacher of basketball.

 

 

On a side note, I've heard quite a few rumors over the last 2 days about Rick Barnes taking the NC State job.

HD digital static looks incredibly hyperactive compared with the old analog stuff

can't believe the guard on Butler just threw that out of bounds

 

No kidding. Not sure I like the call to run a alley oop on that previous possession. Need quite a few things to go right to get points off that.
