The Fighting Wojos

 

[aiw]

Clemson’s last was 1995, but Wake has lost more than they have

I walked through to snow to get there. That may have been K's last game in 1995. Crowd was sparse

You can blame your entire undergraduate experience on Gaudet. I have no such excuses.

Clemson’s last was 1995, but Wake has lost more than they have

Here's another game from that night: N. C. St. 80, No. 1 N. Carolina 70

" Duke went down at home, 75-70 to unbeaten Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference openers for all four teams."

 

[DrKlahn]

recruiting misses were as big an issue as Gaudet. but hard not to notice that K took an even weaker team to the NCAAT the next year

 

[aiw]

That was Rick Barnes's first year at Clemson

 

[aiw]

I loved him there because he didn't take any Dean Smith shit

 

[aiw]

That was Clemson's only win in Cameron since 1984

 

[Devilsforlife]

They’re 1-59 all time in Chapel Hill, meanwhile.

 

[aiw]

Only 4 wins in Cameron

``I don't think we played horribly,' said Krzyzewski. ``Just not as precisely as we needed to in order to beat Clemson. They played a superb game. Their execution of what is an unconventional style was like a clinic.``It's the best way for them to play, and they never let us get over the hump. They made us spend a lot of time on defense and minimized our easy baskets.``They deserved to win.'\

Dean could never process an opposing coach having the temerity to stand up to him.

Duke is 22nd in FT% at 76.4%. Duke is 354th in FT% against at 76.9%. It's totally crazy
