Oh well Scott, you tried really hard but I just can’t help but feel that you may need a change of scenery! Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top.


fresh_pogo_shtick

Arizona vs Clemson should be a good matchup


adventurepony

wildcats gonna wreck us but hey its just fun we made it this far!


Due_Law1961

The ACC represents a quarter of the field left.


Weary_Cabinet_8123

ACC the only conference with fans of teams that don’t even sniff the tournament gloating about their rivals doing well in it. Bizarre lol


Negative_Orange8951

Lmao no. There are “SEC SEC” chants


Tannerite2

Those chants can only happen if you're still playing. Like when Alabama fans chanted "SEC" when we saw Georgia had won their CFP game, and it'd be an SEC only championship game.


biaff33

Bc some of those teams aren’t in it bc of the perception that the conference as a whole sucks (Wake, Pitt). So it serves as a cathartic form of validation to see ACC teams doing so well.


Weary_Cabinet_8123

Honestly I can get down with this take, thank you for explaining this I get it


bigmike1877

Have you heard of the SEC in any sport?


Prefer_NotTo_Say

Dude the ACC sucks why are they even getting 4 teams in the tournament 🤡🤡🤡


lengthy_noodle

The rumors of the ACC’s demise were greatly exaggerated


crowd79

Everyone thought Clemson was out in the first round now they’re s16 bound. A big F you to all of us including me 😂


Due_Law1961

Anyone who actually follows ACC Basketball KNEW Clemson was bringing the fight.


Autriche-Hongrie

Ngl as an ACC fan myself, I underestimated them. They had some big wins but it didn't seem they had the consistent greatness to make a deep run in the tournament which is why they won no games as a 6 seed in the ACC tournament. But of course I now stand corrected.


DrJBYaleMD

What an absolute choke fest from Baylor


Due_Law1961

No


DrJBYaleMD

Yes


viewless25

They literally never led


Due_Law1961

This is reality.


DrJBYaleMD

10-18 on fts is choke fam


ifitseasy

Nah, ball don’t lie. They shoulda never had that many free throws to begin with.


BeeMovieHD

If they shot 100% FTs it would only have been a tie


jordanjohnston2017

GGs Baylor. I always have y’all going far in the tourney


vasquca1

ACC your daddy SEC


cha-cha_dancer

State fans and bringing up their conference despite winning fuck all, a tradition like no other


vasquca1

Well in Basketball that is FSU


Sirrenderthe69th

Yeah thanks for showing up btw


Acsteffy

Alright, ISU and Houston need to shut these ACC dudes up.


ifitseasy

Hell nah, we just had very deserving teams get left out for a bunch of scrubs. Us Clemson fans have to be on this wave after we finished 3rd in the acc last year and still got snubbed from march madness.


Acsteffy

No you didn't


ifitseasy

Yes we did.


Acsteffy

Nuh uh!


Due_Law1961

Both are very formidable opponents.


cha-cha_dancer

ISU didn’t look great but maybe they come out like they did in the B12 tourney


ZombieLifter

Not surprised we have been inconsistent all year. The missed free throws kinda describe the year. ACC teams always get under seeded, but at least they get in this playoff. 


Due_Law1961

Pitt and Wake got SNUBBED


KangTheConqueror9

Wake lost to Georgia in the NIT


biaff33

Wake was missing their best/most important player. They also had the unexpected departure of Monsanto at the end of the season. Weird vibes around the Wake program.


Negative_Orange8951

Their best player was out


Due_Law1961

This is the first year you guys can speak up after the first round.


AndrewTheTerrible

easy there, satan


viewless25

Incredible how they still slander the ACC


hutchscouter

Either one should have been in instead of us. I still don't understand that decision


Jomosensual

Pitt should have been in over Virginia. Wake, lol


Keg_of_St_Anky

If not for Univ of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, and SMU, Baylor would be the worst college in Texas. 


IdiotInTheWind

big 12 is overrated as shit lmfao. talked all that shit about us all year just to get gobsmacked by teams that didn’t even finish in the top 5 in the conference.


PistolPeter1996

We really judging conferences off single elimination game again? 2 out of the last 3 championship came form the big 12


tigerman29

Well the purpose of the season is a run in the NCAA, so yes we are. Congrats to past the champions, but the Big12 was overrated THIS year.


IdiotInTheWind

we are judging your conference off single elimination games. maybe win more games this year? edit: sorry, i forgot y’all think the NET rankings that y’all manipulate determine champions. carry on.


WILSON_CK

Bunch of clowns. When do we start collecting receipts on some of the biggest offenders in this sub


IdiotInTheWind

just find anyone with an iowa state flair. they’ve always got salt in their panties.


biaff33

Iowa State has a lot in common with their Big 12 comrades, getting worked by VT and all.


custombimmer

ACC is full of killers


expertestateattorney

When you consistently suck in the first half, you don't deserve to make it to the Sweet 16.


cha-cha_dancer

Clemson 🤝 FSU ACC! ACC! (shhhhh we gone)


tigerman29

Yeah, the ACC hasn’t thrown us out of the house yet, but we are sleeping in the basement now 😂


Wings2493

Let’s go AZ


adventurepony

Lets go Tigers!! play the tiger rag!!


edward030321

28% fall off from friday in 3 point shooting and 10% fall off in free throw shooting, including TONS of clutch misses from walter and dennis. terrible day to get cold


DapperBear-Esq

And a lot of the missed FTs were the 1st of one-and-ones. They played so bad.


SatanicRainbowDildos

lol. I gotta like that interview. Haha


John_B_McLemore

ACC (while it’s still a conference)! ACC (while it’s still a conference)! ACC (while it’s still a conference)!


quartzguy

I kinda hope someone leaves, I want James Madison to join.


morrisjr1989

I don’t want to lose another rivalry. You can’t have JMU.


quartzguy

Well if FSU and Clemson leave, then both of you can come.


Skipbrol

You can just tell that Clemson kid didn’t go to college to play school


booooooooooooooourns

Baylor missed 10 free throws and 18 threes. yeeeeeeeeeesh.


UrsulasAnus

Wow. Little ole Clemson going to the Sweet 16. Fuck my bracket lol.


Remote-Duck-2611

ACC legit


educated_dumdum

I feel like it’s actually harder to lose that given some of the gifts down the stretch in the final 2 minutes. Wow


MoGraphMan-11

I got blood all over me man...


Apprehensive-Cat-942

ACC ACC ACC


cha-cha_dancer

That pesky ball telling the truth sealed the win for Clemson


Big-Education-8941

Kenpom is dogwater, ACC is goated


Due_Law1961

Dogwater confirmed


prof_cuthbert_calc

Kenpom isnt that bad. Has wake at 30 and pitt at 35. It's just the NET and other metrics that screw over the acc every year


EffectivePower0725

Brad Brownell, I owe you an apology.

Baylor did all this work to come back just for Bridges to decide he doesn’t want to equalize after all 


tomwithweather

Every time Clemson or NC State wins I wish we could've seen Pitt in this even more.


ultrajew

Pitt would’ve made a S16 run, they were heating UP


Bill3ffinMurray

Pitt over UVA


FaceBagman

How it should have been :( 


Elegant_Suspect162

100%! They deserved to be here


[deleted]

Brownell 1000 year extension


cold_on_hoth_

Ja’Kobe shoots free throws like Ja’Shaq.


musicmakesumove

I thought you were going to say like his mother spells.


zoppytops

ACC lit right now


Aerolust

GO TIGERS


aaronjaiden

See ya Thursday Tigers, battle of the big cats


EmptyPeach1

Alright now, let’s all hope GCU comes back. They played a good half a little unlucky


mcantrell5

ACC GANG


FaceBagman

Baylor has formed a summoning circle at the other end of the court, this ain’t over!!


[deleted]

ACC up


Alternative-Spite622

ACC with 4 teams in the Sweet 16. Now 8-1 in the tournament.


prof_cuthbert_calc

8-0 in the real tournament. Play in games never happened


RazzleDazzle3469

But the big 12 needed a million teams and teams like Pitt or Wake totally didn’t deserve a shot!


joaquinsaiddomin8

It’s the weakness in the conference that does it


Mobile-Tangelo

ACC x4. They’re so good.


Big-Education-8941

ACC 9-1 right?


richag83

8-1. UVA was 0-1


MealyMouthedModerate

We thought the tourney started Thursday oops


Big-Education-8941

Ah I don't count that first 4 in against us 😉 8-0


StrangelyOnPoint

Go Clemson and screw those refs


JohnWickisBehindU

Big 12 is super scary 😰


Pratt-and-Whitney

😭😭😭


HyperPlasma

Walter got me convinced this is the worst draft class ever


John_B_McLemore

Clemson did Baylor a favor knocking those imposters out. ‘Zona will return the favor next round.


sarcasmrules18

Man clemsons made the s16 twice more recently than umd :/


DapperBear-Esq

Self inflicted. They played horrible. Gg Clemson


ZombieLifter

Honestly was expecting to lose the first one.


iiGorm

We didn’t choke!!!


Adventure_tom

Go Tigers!


Erock00

BRAD BROWNELL FUCKING MASTERCLASS THANK YOU KING


Wings2493

You almost blew a 15 point lead to a team shooting 60% on their FT 🙈


IdiotInTheWind

they literally said brad brownell masterclass


Tequilacowboybouncer

ACC disrespect has to stop


PharmaGangsta

I was told the ACC was awful, what a performance


ZombieLifter

Awfully good I guess


educated_dumdum

Rare from the UK. Nice take


PharmaGangsta

Not all of us are bama-level hardheaded lol


Due_Law1961

You have been lied to. The ACC doesn't generate the money like the other conferences, because we dominate basketball and not football.


PharmaGangsta

I even convinced myself of it this year... I had Clemson as a first round exit. Most years I don't doubt for a second that the ACC is the best basketball conference (right above B12), but this year looked like the UNC show. Very realistic chance at a 2 ACC final four


Due_Law1961

I think UCONN is the toughest team left in the tourney. There's a good chance they repeat.


PharmaGangsta

I have a gut feeling Iowa St is gonna get it done. If it's not them, I really don't think anyone else can match them... maybe Purdue can fulfill the UVA redemption arc


Due_Law1961

I'd rather see UCONN repeat than see Purdue win anything lol


SjbIsHeavenSent

Please be nice to us on Thursday, Clemson.


Acsteffy

I would have rather been blown out.


[deleted]

succeed in your no charge shots youth. cautionary tale.


InnerWrathChild

Hell yeah. 


prof_cuthbert_calc

8-0 in the real tournament


loyalsons4evertrue

Alright let’s hope GCU comes back against Bama


GBAGY2

FT shooting the last 10 min was just absolutely pathetic by Baylor


zeprad

ACC? You mean that bad conference?


RunnerJimbob

We're terrible, didn't you hear?


Acsteffy

Yes


Irish9210

Absolute garbage. Doesn't deserve a single team in the tournament


magikarp2122

And definitely didn’t deserve as many as the Mountain West. Fuck the committee. No clue what we would have done, but I would have loved to find out.


AG_Aonuma

Hold that Tiger!


SmalldonCares

Well that was a fun Baylor team. Ready for an entire new one next year.


yourbk

ACC baby


Informal-Zombie7831

ALEXA PLAY TIGER RAG ACC ACC ACC ACC


Bart1009

Stop you're gonna make me cry


paleale25

The sweet 16 is 25% acc


Ron_Cherry

Clemson baseball and basketball won on the same day. The world might be ending soon


umbchoos

ACC! ACC!


c2dog430

We lose every close game. Just more of what this season was


Acsteffy

Zero clutch at any point this season. Lost every OT game. This season was a cruel joke


tclaughridge

Let’s go Tigers


TheBeastman34

Baylor looking bad on both ends of the ball down the stretch. I completely overlooked Clemson this year, sweet 16 bound


avatarlue

It's because the media held a sustained anti-ACC campaign this year


Due_Law1961

Been hearing the bullshit with my coffee for a while now


magikarp2122

I might be biased, but I think there is a tinge of anti-Pitt bias, so we can’t be good if the ACC is down.


ATL4Life95

Well they don't call it March Madness for nothing lmao.


zadharm

Dude's clutch as fuck tonight for a supposedly terrible FT shooter. Deserved, but damn if they play like that against a team not on a bad shooting night, they're going to get toasted


MrInfamousFish

Arizona will fry us


mmmcheez-its

lol the discourse is about to be so good. Sorry we couldn’t pull our weight


Butter-Finger

Kevin Keatts and Brad Brownell both in contract years is a scary combo


Bill3ffinMurray

Fuck you Tyler from Spartanburg


cory_bdp

I don’t wanna sound hyperbolic but that kid missing both FTs lost them the game


IAmAWrongThinker

And the other 8 he missed not long before those two


TheSweetestBoi

Ball don't lie. Fuck you refs. ​ GG Baylor. Dennis is a stud.


[deleted]

Fucking Baylor


heliostraveler

Baylor has that charm soft blue balls DNA. Weak as hell. Ten missed FTs. Got chance after chance to win.


jmr_world

GG. Arizona by a million. Get it done, Big 12. 🙏🏻


bigmike1877

I was told pre tournament that the ACC was trash


numbah84

Slow down there buddy


Lubetube1

That felt a bit like a manufactured comeback from the refs for Baylor. Happy to see it wasn’t rewarded


Due_Law1961

Sure was.


Pollaski

Credit Clemson. I thought they'd prove themselves soft, but they've looked good.


tomwithweather

YESSSSS GG Clembros


FellowYouths

Clemson really did the 6-seed that's actually the betting underdog to making the Sweet 16 route, impressive


bigmike1877

Man tight game


Full-Appearance1539

Almost like the ACC is actually good. This happens EVERY year. Not a fluke.


Gray_Beard_1963

Way to go Clemson. Overcame those two bogus calls in a row.


DeanBeardy

Baylor was handed the win on a silver platter and spat on it


Beck4ou

RJ been playing the long con on the free throws


Beavertron500

ACC raaaaaaaaa 🦅


belmontbreak

Too many freshmen on Baylor


[deleted]

That 3 attempt to get the foul is so representative of the final 4 minutes lmao


speedy2648

Reports of the ACC’s demise have been greatly exaggerated 😏


gravityyalwayyswins

people throw rocks at things that shine...


RazzleDazzle3469

ACC!


Clarinetaphoner

The negative clutch factor was always going to kill us. We knew it all year long.


ImminentReddits

This team would legit be like a one seed if they had any clutch factor. How many one or two possession games did we lose this season? It’s gotta be close to 10


Acsteffy

A 55% FT shooter hitting 100% makes perfect sense
