Regardless of the result tonight, if you consider yourself a Clemson fan, you have to be proud. Your heart has to go out to these guys. THEY PUT IT ALL ON THE FLOOR!!!

Let's be realistic, this is the first Elite 8 of my lifetime (first one came in '80 when only 32 teams were in the tournament). As far as current basketball standards, this is one that you'll always remember and most likely it's one your kids will remember and consider the standard- or maybe the point in which the trajectory started upward.

This has been the greatest, most enjoyable 4 game stretch in my Clemson fan history and I have been a fan since the early 90s when we had NBA guys on the reg (Chris Whitney, Sharone Wright, Greg Buckner).

Let's be realistic again, look at our group of guys. The most admirable and honorable thing about all of this is how they've overachieved:
● We were underdogs in 3 straight wins
● A roster filled with guys outside of top 100 recruits.
● A school not known for basketball, with a fanbase that aren't as passionate as they are for other sports.

And really this is two years in a row of really solid ball. We didn't get the chance to see what we could do last year (knowing we should have been able to).

What makes me feel the best is the current culture. An example? Securing a homegrown 4yr player in Pj Hall. And how about going from Aamir Simms to Hunter Tyson to Ian Scheflien to Rj Godfrey? Chase Hunter and the potential of his brother. More than all of that, the character of these kids is unmatched!

I'm happy and grateful for what happened this year and we all should be. This team has deserved our respect.

Whatever it was they only had to win 2 games instead of 3 like this team did

I agree with all above statements, but I’m also disappointed at their performance and won’t baby them. Brad was not the problem tonight. We let him down.

Folks can go be miserable. Tied for the best season in Clemson - no shame.

Hopefully it doesn't take 40 years to make it back and even go further next time 🤞
