Clemson rn

[u/DaMantis]

Clemson fans ordering a McNoose

[u/burgahflippah → u/DaMantis]

Banger

[u/saywhat14]

My bracket wants Clemson but my heart wants mcneese

[u/jwhitmire2012 → u/saywhat14]

Understandable, I felt the same about High Point

[u/Seahawks1121]

Clemson

[u/arrowflash01]

Clemson on pace for 26 points all game LMAOOO

[u/KaptainKoala]

our "specialist" at shooting 3s has gone ice cold of the last like 5 games.

[u/Wesdawg1241]

*me going through my picks
"Hmm, Clemson beat Duke and Kentucky? Narrow loss to the excellent Cardinals in the ACC tournament. I don't see McNeese beating them."

*me watching this game
"Why didn't I pick McNeese?"

[u/crackers780]

[u/tuliwhoopie]

[u/MONGOHFACE]

The ACC haters said the ACC was bad. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the ACC haters.

[u/BirdsArentImportant]

Clemson is currently on pace to lose even if McNeese doesn’t score in the second half

[u/KaptainKoala]

mcneese hasn't been good, and we are down 4

[u/burgahflippah]

ACC is somehow the most historically successful conference but also regularly fields teams that are an affront to God

[u/RandoUserlolidk]

NC state watching this:

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

13 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF😭😭😭

[u/TigerTerrier]

This is a bad football score and it's worse as a basketball score

[u/RandoUserlolidk]

C13mson

[u/uncandrew]

Huge day for the haters. They said our conference was ass, and Lord in heaven were they correct

[u/DrSandmanZ → u/uncandrew]

Honestly, great call by the haters.

[u/BLeibo]

Sad mascot alert

[u/justaverage]

Is 11 points in 17 minutes a lot?

For basketball? No

For football? Probably still, “no”

[u/Half_Baked22]

Is that the worst half in tournament history?

[u/SogMuffin]

This is the worst game I’ve ever watched

[u/paradigm_x2]

Let’s check on the ACC.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

[u/[deleted]]

ACC: Louisville how could you embarrass the acc like that

Clemson:

[u/eliastheawesome]

Wow guys would you look at that, Gonzaga is up 21-3 on UGA

[u/NatureWanderer07]

Way to show up 35 minutes into the game guys

[u/ExoCommonSense]

When I was filling out my bracket with my six year old she misread Clemson as Clownson. She might have put a hex on y'all

[u/thewill450]

[u/mmmcheez-its]

It almost feels like UVA made the tourney after all

[u/RonaldJosephBurgundy]

Someone please gif the tiger shaking his head

[u/RandoUserlolidk]

New tournament meme just dropped

[u/SnakeEazy]

Nearly blowing a 20 point lead by missing free throws and inexplicably turning it over? Will Wade will fit in nicely at State lol

[u/Accurate-Big-7233]

13 points at fucking HALF

[u/Dijohn17]

Clemson what in the absolute fuck

[u/ajudge08]

I’m not sure Clemson could be playing any worse right now. This is genuinely insane.

[u/Bambi_Bucks]

Duke and UNC fans watchin like

[u/headbangershappyhour]

Brutal cut to the Tiger just shaking his head in shame

[u/AmericanNewWave]

Clemson look completely unprepared for McNeese. They got totally outmuscled on both ends and went into full panic mode early on.

[u/WhoElseButMe_]

Mcneese getting hacked every play and refs won’t call anything for them lmao

[u/The_RonJames]

Damn McNeese getting straight up mugged and the refs are ignoring it

[u/304rising]

The acc besides Duke must be really….really bad.

[u/Freddeyy]

Clemson is now officially record book bad.

Move over Virginia. Another orange dud coming through.

[u/Bluemzv12]

The fact that Clemson hasn’t even broken 20 yet is so embarrassing

[u/dudeiscoolbruh]

Are the ACC frauds? Many are wondering

[u/fightinyoda]

Crazed McNeese fan is an amazing vibe

[u/maoterracottasoldier]

Anyone have a clip of chuck saying “mcneese ain’t beating Clemson. Stop it”

[u/gravityyalwayyswins]

anyone who didnt sit through the majority of that game and just tuned in for the last couple mins KNOW NOTHING of the disgrace to basketball that we just witnessed from clemson for the first 36 minutes of that game hahaha. the final score insinuates such a wildly different story from how that all played out

[u/dcd13]

Relegate Clemson to FCS. Embarrassing

[u/Sportacles]

Sure McNeese is up big but more importantly we have a palindrome score

[u/ekimtk]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL. Head shaking mascot. That's great. Someone got a gif of that?

[u/WestSideBomber]

[u/ctbro025]

LMAO your team is actually making a comeback and you get T'd up.

[u/DaMantis]

Gene Steratore is the embodiment of "ExPeRtS aGrEe"

[u/The_Letter_Purple]

McNeese getting hammered and refs just looking the other way to make this game interesting

[u/Short_Swordsman]

"You need a three here because you need two threes" is a nice change of pace.

[u/DangerousStorage1]

WHO THE FUCK SAID 69-67

[u/fancycheesus]

What an anticlimactic way to end a 12-5 upset lol

[u/antcarsal]

Final minute Clemson could be national champions

[u/Skipper2399]

Most anticlimactic 2-point 12-5 upset

[u/CTM3399]

Man as if Louisville and the ACC didn't look bad enough already, now our best win just got dumpstered by a school I have never heard of before today

[u/ifitseasy]

This is hilarious. And the exact reason you don’t brownell a 6-year extension. He literally only performs when his job is on the line.

[u/tyrannyofwillsasso]

nc state fans now looking at this mcneese roster like a buffet

[u/hooskies]

BROKE: Louisville underseeded

WOKE: Clemson overseeded

[u/eliastheawesome]

I changed hats, that should fix it.

[u/CE_Pally]

[u/Ender_Stark]

I think UGA and Clemson should be banned from next year's tournament.

[u/confusedthrowaway5o5]

The only way I can see that being a technical is if Lahkin used a slur. Otherwise, no Gene, it doesn’t “have to be called.”

[u/spursup20]

This is why we talk shit AFTER the game is over

[u/Accurate-Big-7233]

McNeese did what they could to choke that lmao

[u/bobsaget824]

Biggest 2 point blowout I’ve ever seen

[u/Only499]

Quadrupled amount of points from the 1st half and still lose is kind of a wild stat

[u/King-In-The-Nawth]

Wow a 2 point game must’ve been a good competitive matchup

[u/Ok_Debt_4338]

Remember NC State fans your probably getting Mcneese State players in the transfer portal as well, not just Will Wade

[u/ChimmyTheCham]

Whats the biggest half time comeback? Asking for my friends bracket not mine

[u/Spark3420]

Clemson should be ashamed at that abomination of a 1st half. 13 points is dreadful, most #16 seeds would do better than that against #1 seeds.

[u/Parking_Ebb389]

McNeese just has too much aura tbh

[u/Kindly_Let_714]

13 points is fucking WILD

[u/DueOpposite6612]

One time Lamar Jackson scored 56 points in one half of college football

[u/Cwrabz]

Cameraman has insane comedic timing with the cut to the Tiger lmfao

[u/jklaz]

They probably gonna put that manager in the game like it’s a middle school blowout 😭

[u/i-like-puns2]

There is more talking than that 20 times a game come on…. Be real

[u/mattychefthatbih]

Classic college basketball, letting the team down at the end scrambling to hack the shit out of the team that’s dominated the game

[u/TheMelonKid]

THAT DUNK WAS NASTY

[u/cn0285]

THE REVERSE DUNK 🥵🥵🥵

[u/heleghir]

That FT might have sealed it. GG time to burn the clemson final 4 bracket

[u/coffeeeeeee333]

Lol to lose by 2 after all that... Maybe even worse than just getting blown out idk

[u/teslaabr]

OMG who commented about it ending 69-67 :D

[u/Hammerhead34]

If Clemson had started playing like at any point in the first 30 minutes of game clock they would’ve won easily lmao. How embarrassing

[u/DCL-XVI]

a 14-4 run in one minute to close the game is outrageous. too bad for clemson that they played like ass for the first 2/3 of the game. too little, too late.

[u/jwhitmire2012]

If we could hit a three we’re up by double digits rn

[u/AccountUsername19]

Starting to think Clemson is actually doing a protest or maybe a prank or something

[u/COLU_BUS]

The fact that Clemson might still win this game is truly insane.

[u/Reallyouthere444]

This makes Duke look significantly worse

[u/Chemical-Bluebird856]

My bracket is unimaginably cooked (I had Clemson going to the final four)

[u/Gray_Beard_1963]

Can't imagine taking time off work and paying for flights, hotels, tickets as a Clemson fan to have to watch this beatdown. No wonder those fans look so miserable.

[u/Designer_B]

I might eat my words as this game goes. But I have no idea why people think Mcneese could take Clemson. Hunter isn't a huge piece of their production. Mcneese has zero size to contend with Lahkin and Schiefflin. And Clemson is coming off a deep tourney run returning many of their main pieces.

This is gonna be a crime scene.

Here to eat my words. Except the crime scene bit. I was technically correct.

[u/cbp26]

I wasn't familiar with McNeese so I looked them up on Wikipedia and found out one of the singers from Toto is an alum. That makes the bracket hit worthwhile.

[u/Crazyhawk28]

Soft tech, but why the hell are you even talking dude

[u/MyLifeIsABoondoggle]

Ayy, I'm TAWKIN' HERE

• This commentator (probably)

[u/Coffee____Freak]

UP DOWN???

[u/aaronman4772]

8/16 from the free throw line for McNeese, oof.

[u/nap0202]

How is Schefflin a D1 player, looks like they just grabbed a random 6’10 frat bro and threw him out there

[u/[deleted]]

Clemson is being as physical as they want and getting the softest calls on the other end.

[u/ddottay]

Clemson is almost purposefully trying to foul and the refs just aren’t paying attention. Good lord

[u/thetenorguitarist]

Comebacks are cool, but we can't let Clemson just slap the shit out of McNeese here

[u/DoggedStooge]

Is it just me or has Clemson been trying to foul and the refs just aren't calling it?

[u/[deleted]]

If I was a Clemson fan the last 6 minutes would piss me off more than the first 34. You guys could’ve done this the entire time?

[u/SaintArkweather]

Announcer said "You Need a Three". Hell has frozen over.

[u/ctbro025]

Lmao if this game was 15 seconds longer, Clemson would have probably won

[u/Commercial-Lake5862]

Just remember that NC State's win over Houston wouldn't have been as memorable because you would've had a clock review after the game-winning bucket.

[u/adivineeternity]

Quick question: did Clemson start their water boys while the team rolled out of bed back at the hotel?

[u/coffeeeeeee333]

😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

Everytime they mention us I feel jinxed

[u/Crazyhawk28]

Accomplishing something nobody has done at the school right after you put in your two weeks notice goes pretty hard.

[u/socom52]

All I know is whoever wins this game is going to shoot lights out against us.....

[u/kjance]

Thank goodness we extended Brad…love the game plan he’s put together and the high level of execution he’s got the team playing with

[u/volunteergump]

Clemson is on a sub 27 point pace right now.

[u/magnumapplepi]

Clemson rn

[u/YourAsianBuddy]

Bro smoked a wide open layup? Clemsons selling

[u/aaronman4772]

That shot attempt was just pathetic holy cow. How do you miss that wide open layup Clemson from right under the basket

[u/DrSandmanZ]

Mcneese offense not exactly a thing of beauty.

But they’re in an ass-off with an intergalactic ass champion offense right now.

[u/AlFlame93]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/runamokduck]

31–13 for a palindromic halftime score. disgusting basketball from Clemson

[u/Laschoni]

I stand corrected. The ACC is actually ass.

[u/dontbelievejustwatch]

“Mr president, another Acc team has come out looking like ass”

[u/DrSandmanZ]

To put this in perspective:

That despicable half of basketball from Clemson is still on track to produce more points than NC State’s famous 24 point performance.

[u/Orange_Kid]

That little kid with the "Clownson" insult is cooking right now

[u/FIRE_WARDE_MANUEL]

I know there have been statistically worse performances, but I do think that performance from Clemson is the worst half of basketball I have ever watched live.

[u/Solesky1]

Alabama State scored 31 in the first half against Auburn

[u/AlwaysTalkinShit]

[u/Cybotnic-Rebooted]

Duke fans tried to tell me the ACC was actually underrated lmao. Fuck Duke like always.

[u/Shenanigangster]

If McNeese winning and preventing NC State from signing Will Wade for another two days leads to Texas poaching him… oh boy

[u/buffalokidcards]

Sounds weird to say — but Clemson is lucky it’s only an 18 point game.

[u/DarkCushy]

13 points in a half, wow. Just wow

[u/Zloggt]

So either McNeese continues the beatdown…or Clemson pulls off what could lowkey be one of the greatest comebacks in March Madness history (if you can call it that)…

…bit of a win/win for neutrals either way…

[u/reskk]

ACC is ass my dudes

[u/Remote-Molasses6192]

13 points and ten turnovers in 20 minutes of basketball😭💔

[u/dinkinflicka125]

This is genuinely one of the worst tournament performances by a better seed maybe ever

[u/ajudge08]

This Clemson team beat Duke

[u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

Fire Brad Brownell is back on the menu

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Good news for Clemson: 22 point comebacks have happened

Bad News: Clemson hasn’t scored 22 points all game

[u/Bambi_Bucks]

Me: ok this game is depressing me lemme switch over to the Georgia Gonzaga game to check in and cleanse my soul

….. I’m back

[u/OhCanVT]

27 zags 3 uga with 11 min left in the first half lol

[u/arsenal19801]

This is without a doubt the worst showing I've ever watched in a tournament game. Oof

[u/Zloggt]

What if the loser of each March madness game would be forced to watch every episode of the new Paul Bros series?

That’ll really light a fire under those bellies lol

[u/Casper0832]

Louisville: Man we embarrassed ourselves today.

Clemson: Hold my beer.

[u/TheStuffisLegal]

Commercials. Deflected pass. Commercials. By far the worst part of NCAA’s archaic ass system. Just adopt the NBA media timeout method. This is fucking lame and loses viewers

[u/BeraldGevins]

Is Clemson fucking with us?

[u/FullCodeSoles]

If you don’t like that you don’t like big ten football. Wait that’s not right

[u/CrimsonMirage7]

Just checked my group and I had Clemson beating High Point next round and everyone else in my group has Purdue in the Sweet sixteen so I'm gonna need Mcneese to make the Sweet sixteen now to screw them over.

[u/BanquoRTG]

Calling a Tech there is kinda crazy

[u/AnchorsAweigh89]

Imagine trash talking a 12 seed while checks notes down 13?

[u/LegitimateMoney00]

That was the most bs explanation ever.

You can’t “call a tech to prevent something later”. Wtf does that even mean?

[u/headbangershappyhour]

Has Clemson considered that getting a defensive rebound or two might help their comeback?

[u/CevicheMixto]

Imagine losing a game because you're trying to foul the other team, but the officials won't call anything.

[u/TheMelonKid]

THAT DUNK WAS EVEN NASTIER

[u/QBEagles]

Clemson is too fucking stupid to win

[u/ParadiddleL]

McNeese has clearly never been here

[u/unopenedcrayondrawer]

McNeese keeps making momentum plays without taking the momentum

[u/55555_55555]

They did that girl wrong with the slomo, lol. She looks crazy.

[u/tigernike1]

Watch the final be 69-67 or something

[u/Mission_Pay_3373]

Everyone on Clemson is shooting like Curry in the past few minutes. Where was this during the rest of the game, lmao

[u/supyonamesjosh]

How is this not infuriating for Clemson fans.

They have scored more in the last two minutes than the first half

[u/Snip3rjoe]

Clemson waited 39 minutes to actually start playing.

[u/MarkFewsEyebrows]

Holy shit did Clemson really score 38 points in the last seven minutes?

[u/[deleted]]

This coach has no idea the NC State news is out lol

[u/ToothbrushTommy]

Should the ACC sue Clemson for this performance?

[u/[deleted]]

The ‘game over’ comments in every game thread when one team is down single digits in the first half are so fucking annoying

[u/Immediate_Emu1284]

Jesus fucking christ clemson is ass

[u/[deleted]]

13..at half?

[u/District_Dan]

Fucking embarrassing

[u/Jbob9954]

"Clemson ain't losing this game" - Barkley in pre-game

[u/dizZzy5]

13 points in a half of basketball is absolutely diabolical man lmaoooo

[u/Fearghas]

13 points, 1-15 from three, 5-24 total, 10 turnovers. Clemson needs the halftime speech to end all halftime speeches.

[u/Banglayna]

A #16 seed putting up only 13 points in a half is a sad sight, a 5 seed doing it is farcicle

[u/DepartmentRare1945]

Damn. #2 and #3 ACC getting absolutely blitzed.

[u/Vitamin_BK]

"Hey guys, we need to take care of the ball! We have way too many turnovers!"

Clemson backcourt:

[u/OhCanVT]

13 points and 10 turnovers in the first half. not ideal for clemson

[u/IEatDeFish]

my gfs bracket that has Arkansas as the natty because she likes pigs is about to be eating

[u/StefonDiggsHS]

been watching the game and holy shit i've seen Patriot League teams play better basketball than clemson right now

the misses, the turnovers, the lack of hustle and energy

just overall embarrassment

[u/ChrisAplin]

It's bad I had clemson going to the E8 isn't it.

[u/ifitseasy]

Let’s get the fire brownell chants rolling again. Maybe they can tear up that dumbass extension they just gave him lmaooo

[u/olduvai_man]

Here I was thinking our 14 point half against the worst team in the SEC was as bad as it could get.

Clemson, you've outdone yourselves.

[u/-sorry-]

Was about to clown the ACC but then I remembered what happened on Tuesday….

[u/hastyc]

Louisville and Clemson in sweet 16 was a mistake. I’m a fool.

[u/Affectionate_Ship129]

Clemson was in the bonus for 10 minutes. Still only scored 13

[u/olduvai_man]

I had Louisville and Clemson in the Sweet 16.

DM me next year if you guys want any tips filling out your bracket.

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Clemson looking like a midwestern bible college rn

[u/huskyferretguy1]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I HAVE YOU GOING TO SWEET 16!

[u/c_Lassy]

Bro 13 fucking points what the fuck

[u/LilNello1]

So will they now be known as Clempson?

[u/DueOpposite6612]

Damn, now our two wins against Clemson aren’t even that satisfying anymore

[u/PM_your_Tigers]

I know they look like the Clemson players, but are we sure this isn't the team from DW Daniel High School?

[u/MrSlayer10000]

If you know someone who is a fan of Clemson, please check in on them.
