Re: If we get past New Mexico

I’m telling you, none of the teams in our bracket are anybody that we can’t beat.

In fact, teams like North Carolina, Baylor, and Arizona are all even vulnerable to being upset before Clemson would play them. And especially Alabama against Pat Kelsey and CofC

New Mexico honestly is the most dangerous because they have the chip on their shoulder. But so does Clemson because we’re actually not favored to win it.

Baylor has some really good wins this year, but I don’t think they’re as good as a 3-seed. We got a good draw on the 3-seed in this bracket.

Arizona has been underwhelming as well. Caleb Love is the biggest issue to deal with, but again, if Clemson is playing at its own highest level, it can beat Arizona every day of the week.

Alabama we’ve already beaten.

And obviously we’ve beaten UNC on the road.

Besides Tom Izzo, I don’t see any elite coaches in our bracket. Which is one of Brad’s weaknesses.

New Mexico is toughest to me because we will see if we’re going to be able to click and deal with the bright lights. Is Chase Hunter going to be able to score? Can PJ make his 3-foot shots. Will Scheffelin rebound?

But if we come out rolling through the first and maybe second game of the tournament like in 2017, it really does set up well for us. Until we would get to UCONN.

Well I mean I don’t think those people know what they are talking about then. And I’ve lost any care of getting scalded anyways lol.

UCONN region:

2 seed - Iowa State - maybe the best 2 seed in whole tournament

3 seed - Illinois - A big physical BIG10 team that we’d probably lose to

4 seed - Auburn - Won the SEC Championship playing its best ball

5 seed - San Diego State - National Championship appearance last year

Houston region:

2 seed - Marquette - Shaka Smart and this team are very good, maybe Clemson could but harder than Arizona.

3 seed - Kentucky - Yeah forget about Brownell beating John Calipari at any point in his career.

4 seed - Duke - Yeah okay they are beatable

5 seed - Wisconsin - BIG10 champions and beat Purdue

Purdue Region:

2 seed - Tennessee - Vulnerable

3 seed - Creighton - I’m high on Creighton. They’re athletes are top notch scorers and they’ll could make it out that entire region.

4 seed - Kansas - Actually will probably make a first or second round exit. Hunter Dickinson out for first game and McCuller out for whole tournament. 2 best players.

5 seed - Gonzaga - Vulnerable, but Mark Few!

I would say the Purdue region would set up okay as well with the 2-5 seeds, but then Purdue wouldn’t be beatable for Clemson in my opinion because of Zach Eddy and their guard play.

North Carolina being the 1-seed in our region works extremely well for us. We’ve seen them twice this year, and beaten them once in Chapel Hill.

So, in reality from top to bottom, the UNC region is the most likely for Clemson to make a run. That is if Clemson isn’t playing at its highest level, in which case they could probably make it through any of the regions. Clemson really is very good if they are playing it’s best.
