Well, you can’t say the Tigers have not turned over every rock looking for New Mexico weaknesses.

I hope for our Tigers...but I'm a Realist and Brad IS on the sidelines to Find a Way Not 2 Win🤔 I was fortunate in my youth to have Never played on a team where The Coach was the Weakness Exploited👁

Being a realist would mean that you acknowledge Brad's NCAA Tournament record

which is 3-3 at Clemson.
That is better than:
Cliff Ellis: 1-2 Rick Barnes: 2-3 Oliver Purnell 0-3
Brad has the most NCAA Tournament appearances in program history, as well as the most NCAA Tournament wins in program history, and has done better than his predecessors in the NCAA Tournament, yet you and others here seem convinced that we have no chance to win today. Because you're "realists."
LOL.

We certainly have a chance to win, but confidence is low because the team has been so often jekyll and hyde this year. Brad's NCAA Tournament record means little when you've lived through a season with so many ups and downs, especially if this is supposed to be his most talented team in 14 years... If he has more talent on this team than he's had in all previous years, what IS the factor resulting in us being under dogs to an 11 seed?
Are you suggesting you prefer Brownell over Barnes?

Who said that this is his most talented team at Clemson?

Some of us, myself included, said a few months ago that this could be his best team at Clemson, but I didn't see any guarantees of that nor any assertions that this is definitely his most talented team.
Injuries have hurt our season. Not having Hemenway this year has hurt us, as has Jack Clark missing a large portion of the season. Leyte has missed time and is finished for the year. Heidbreder has been injured and redshirted. These hurt our depth.
Moreover, having PJ and Ian with nagging injuries the last few months has taken its toll as well. They have missed a lot of practice, with the hope that it allows them to keep playing games.
So given this, it's unfair to accurately evaluate the overall talent level, especially when injuries have surely impacted the results this year. Nonetheless, we have had a great year and will hopefully make a nice run in the NCAA Tournament.

Looking for game time on Sunday IF,,,,IF, they win... need to book a flight and trying to avoid those two hours. Would it be about 3pm on Sunday? I am sure it is already set time.

Perhaps I misspoke declaring this Brownell's most talented team in 14 years, as I don't know that anyone has actually declared that who has authority.
With that said, we have, arguably, our best back court since the sweet 16 run combined with PJ Hall in the front with Ian's improvement, one could also argue we have our best front court in many years... With the two combined, and a top 20 recruiting class, one could arguably say this is our best assembly of players under Brownell in his tenure.
Regardless, the consistent inconsistency should leave most of us sober-minded Tiger fans hopeful but guarded going into today's game, which is unfortunate given the length of our coach's tenure with very little success to show for it.

I support Brad, and think he is a good coach, but I would absolutely take Barnes. With that said, ignoring how things ended and how poorly he is doing at DePaul, I would rather have Purnell. But we have Brad, and unless we are going after a proven top tier coach I would rather stick with Brad than start over hoping we land a diamond in the rough.

NM is the odds favorite, but we're the higher ranked - so... kind of an upset either way?
