An up and down season ended on a bad note. We take a step back and put it all into perspective.
We laid out some pretty straight-forward goals for our basketball team before the season began. We had hoped for 10 non-conference wins and nine ACC regular season wins. That would have put Clemson on the NCAA tournament bubble with 19 total victories. Their fate likely would've rested on their ACC tournament performance. That was a fate we would have been happy to live with. Texas Tech, Syracuse, and Oregon State all made the NCAA tournament with just 19 wins, so that perspective certainly proved to be realistic.
