Gonzaga placing a beatdown as well.

I was glad not to draw them as our 8

Woof maybe the ACC was that bad. Getting a little more nervous

The ACC absolutely was that bad. And these teams were head and shoulders above the rest. That doesn't mean duke isn't good...but we got 0 signal from league play. none.

As a reminder, Georgia beat Florida not too long ago…

Holy Bulldogs, Batman! This is a serious curb stomping!

If you chose Clemson to win this region, there's still time to change your vote.

Maybe the real MVP of this Clemson team was Dillon Hunter? His brother looks totally checked out, averages between 2 and 3 assists a game, his entire team has 2 assists!

 

[CheatH8ter]

This is legit concerning if Clemson is that bad.

 

[Mak P]

Welp maybe what they said about the ACC is true

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Did all the metrics have Clemson and Louisville as good teams? What the hell happened?

 

[ChillinDuke]

Everyone needs to chill out, sheesh. Clemson is playing an all-time dud, but it doesn't mean they're "that bad."

We historically always have some duds in our season - luckily this year we haven't.

Clemson is just having one at the worst time.

People that hyperbolize single games need to just chill out. Oy. I know it's the tourney, but just because Clemson stinks today doesn't say a whole lot about Duke or this season broadly.

Good gracious. Clemson playing horribly. Every pass is telegraphed...and no real energy.

 

[mattyoung18]

This game is ova!!Billy P

 

[duke2x]

This is not the first bad loss Clemson had this year, but it's by far the worst effort I've seen from them in 3-5 years.

 

[AGDukesky]

You guys are missing the real headline: McNeese is a title contender

 

[King of Defense]

My hometown Bulldogs are getting blown out by the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs from which they took their name are still to play.

Completely agree. One game does not reflect an entire season.

But man - Hunter, Shieffelin and Lakhin have a combined 7 points on 12 total shots... Talk about not coming ready to play.

Co-sign on this. This is a shocking effort from Clemson, but in a one game sample in a high stakes tournament, this can happen.

I actually feel a little for Brownell, he’s going to have to own this disgraceful effort, but sometimes as a coach there’s nothing you can do when the players lay an egg this badly (and show no ability to recover).

McNeese might have been a bad matchup for Clemson regardless, but the players from Clemson losing their composure the way they have makes this look a lot worse.

 

[CheatH8ter]

This is Clemson's worst performance of the season, against us was the best.

 

[Hartford Dukie]

It's not like McNeese is red hot - they are 41% from the floor, 22% from 3. Just an immense turd from Clemson. And in the tourney.

Ga was up by 30 points in that game before Fla came back.
