Yes, we are overrated. Williams, Carr, and Garrison will be our downfall, because we have to play at least two of them and none of them are good. Our bench is thin, as Krissa is huge liability and Almanor is a negative if he can’t hit open threes (missed all three tonight).

Clemson was an Elite 8 team last season…they aren’t chump change

They’ve been allowed to play as physical as they please while our top 2 players have had 4 fouls most the second half…2 guys with a reputation of not fouling while defending.

The way the game has been officiated plays to Clemson muck it up and prevent rhythm style

Farr Pope!
Nah, just a dose of reality for this group. Clemson is a tough experienced team. Lots of games left, this team is still trying to gel. Games still not over yet, but we are seeing what’s gonna happen when the threes aren’t falling.

Honestly, as ugly as this game has been, we hit a couple more 3’s and we win. How damn many did we miss tonight? Terrible shooting.

6-25

Not gonna win many games with 6-25

If I say we’re overrated I’ll get called a troll but I don’t care. We are overrated. We struggle to run fluid offense against Any kind of team that has high major players. Not the cupcakes. Maybe that will change as we get more used to it

Absolutely Kentucky was hugely overrated. We have no business being 4th in the nation but still massively exceeding expectations from before the season started.
I predicted we’d lose 10-12 . Still think so .

Played about as bad as we can play. Got bullied. Laid bricks.

I had a bad feeling about this one but hoped it was just gas or something.

We are slightly overrated.

In reality, we have no idea if we’ll exceed expectations. Every night on the road in the SEC will be this way.

We are a little overrated right now but I still love this team. Clemson was allowed to play very physical tonight while our top players were called for quick fouls to get them in trouble? Saturday will be another very difficult game no doubt. I'm good with where we are in Pope's very 1st season with an empty roster to start with. Let's let the season play out. Way too many people ripping on players here tonight but that's the Rafters way I guess. Clemson just played a better football game than us tonight.

Yep - solid team that never gives up and fights like hell. But not a top 5 team.

We are probably a bit overrated but come on did anyone really expect to be fourth in the nation before the season started? All I was hoping for was a win in the NCAA tournament.
We are 1-0 to get to #4 every other game we were 24 + favorites in.

Good lord you guys, it's one game. A true road game to a decent team. It's not even remotely close to a bad loss. We'll be fine. Never change though Rafters, this place is wild.
The problem is that we’ve been exposed. And this wasn’t the first game in which our major weaknesses have been exposed. So that you understand, I’ll spell it out for you:

1. Our bigs are woeful.

2. Our bench is thin. Brea is the only good bench player, and he ought to start.

3. We don’t have a reliable backup point guard. Krissa is a plus/minus nightmare.

4. We are a poor defensive team that gives up a ton of open looks and layups.

5. We do not have a go to scorer.

Clemson played exceptional defense and was the tougher team. At their gym. We will be OK, we’re not going to win them all.

Yes overrated.
SOS early on can do that
Honestly Robinson needs to be better
Not sure why Brea never plays
Butler great game but Kerr equally as bad tonight

This has been a game where nothing has gone our way and we’re still in it. Clemson has dictated everything about it so far. We just need to keep pushing and who knows what can happen the last few minutes.
Great teams don’t let a team like Clemson dictate everything

Clemson is a 10 loss team make no mistake about that
