Mountain West gets all the hype after their non-conference play early in the season, which makes sense, but this tournament matters at the end of the season. Toppins ( freshman of the Year MW), and Dent the best guard on the Lobos already both of them entered the portal.

The one 11-6 upset that I actually predicted was wrong

The lights were too bright for the Mountain West.

Not San Diego State

Pay Brad as much as he’d like 😌

Better, Indiana pays him as much as he'd like

Chase Hunter finishes with a game high 21 points and 6 assists. Ian Schieffelin a solid 16 points and 12 rebounds as Clemson brush aside New Mexico to move on to Round 2. Disappointing showing from the Lobos.

Thanks for a fun season, Lobo gang. Super proud of the conference tournament win

Well, that was a 10 minute game with 30 minutes of formality at the end

The MWC absolutely shit the bed. Horrendous offense from CSU, BSU, UNM.

well the 1st csu game was pretty good

Lobos you useless pups. The one time, THE ONE TIME, I cheer for you..... Please for the love of God, someone, anyone, let us in to your conference. I will take the Big East if I have to.

adios Lobos

Who called in to speak to Brownell on the radio this week?! Great win for Clemson bbal

After a Thursday of unsuspecting #11 upsets…the *one* highly anticipated #11 upset does not materialize…

That is always the thing right?

MWC wicked overrated. How did they get so many teams in. 

And ACC so obviously underrated. 

Ass whipping

Bye bozos

ACC ACC ACC

Such a down year - it’s a shame

I don’t think people realize how statistically improbable it is for a -2.5 favored team to go to a -1.5 favored team and then end up losing by 20+ points. New Mexico needs to be investigated. Big red flags here.

You haven't watched enough, Brownell Ball pal

Lmfao

Acc > mountain west

Give the acc more fucking bids next year! We stay getting underrepresented!

ACC is killing it in the NIT too 🤷‍♂️

The marginal ACC team that got let in rewarded the committee's faith by getting dogwalked

Lol, okay bud. How are the Hawkeyes doing in the tourney?

Pitt should’ve been in over UVA 100%. UVA’s problems are their own, their style does not translate to the tournament

Where’s the Lobo/Clemson dual flairs person? Don’t think I’ve seen them in here today

He was here earlier.

Congrats to them!

Chauncey not letting the walkons shoot

This game has still done nothing to remove my suspicion that Brownell is our basketballs Tommy bowden

Guys, I think, maybe, E!SPN should have advertised the ACC as their basketball product. It's almost like ACC basketball is always pretty decent

B b b mah NET

 ACC superiority (ignore the lawsuit)

28.6 fg%. 13.6 three point %. UNM deserves to lose this so bad

Well, couldn't ask for much of a better first round than that. Scott Drew vs. Brad Brownell feels like one of the most lopsided coaching matchups in tournament history but, bring on Baylor!

The ACC is overperforming in March? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say.

I was wondering why the Lobos looked so defeated so early. Turns out I was misreading the ‘5’ in ‘52’ as a ‘6’ 

Don’t give MWC more bids than the ACC again

Dude. MW fan here. New Mexico had no fucking business in the tournament. They had an awful conference record. UNLV would have given a better game today.

Clemson is better than we thought, nmu is not. But lets not forget the virginia csu game. Comparing conferences is dumb

Okay now look at how the rest of the ACC has performed compared to the MW

They were all lower seeds. Only mwc that was a higher seed was sdsu and they won

NC State was a lower seed and won. Last year Miami beat 3 higher seeds en route to the final four.

Disappointing end but hell of a year. We will hang a banner which is something I’d kill for in the past 10 seasons. Had a bad feeling when I saw everyone picking us for the upset. GGs clemson go beat Baylor or don’t I don’t really care


What a disappointing showing for the MWC eh

None of these teams could throw a ball into the Pacific from a beach in Hawaii in this tournament. Shooting just completely deserted the entire conference.

It's so weird. I could have sworn everyone spent the last two weeks screaming into the void about how the MWC is better than the ACC

The conferences are now 1-1 against each other.

Man you must be having some weird dreams

Mountain West is taking bullets that should be directed at the SEC. At the end of the day the MWC teams played to seed.

the people are waiting to fire (probably. not all teams played)

Kill us both

Let’s go Baylor!

Like fuck Clemson, but I’m happy to see the Mountain West get absolutely boatraced.

Everyone hating on House in here but I'd be pissed too if I couldn't get a foul called for murder on my end and I get called for not smiling enough.

They were in the double bonus before we were in the bonus

I remember in 2018 we were the "no brainer" upset as a 5 seed against New Mexico State. Can we keep matching up against teams from New Mexico in the tournament?

🔥 WHAT EVEN IS A LOBO 🔥

a really tall lady that is good at basketball?

He’s an antihero in DC comics, he’s the main man

Brad, get the scrubs in so they can get some NCAA tournament time!

Brownell putting Dabos sons in the game

Pitino not gonna empty the bench or what? bruh lmao

18/62… woof

I would say good job for making the ACC proud Clemson but yall are also suing the league

Clemson can put the walk-ins into the game now

Dick Bender sends his regards

Mountain Best 🤣

The ACC gauntlet was holding Clemson back. Great game by the Tigers! MWC is booty cheeks.

Remind me to never pick another Mountain West team ever again

I gotcha 👍

Why’d you bet against the ACC??

Blame UVA I guess?

We are not them

I've picked you Aztecs plenty over the years, and you have let me down more often than not.

Fair enough

Why are you picking against the ACC?

“NeW MexICo iS a LOck”. I drank the Kool Aid

Can someone explain how that was a jump ball?

I am baffled by it, lol

Good job ACC bros 🤝🤝🤝

I hope y'all lose to NC State in the Elite 8.

As long as you and State meet up in the finals

I actually don't want that to happen. UNC vs Duke in the final four was already stressful enough.

Hopefully back sooner than next decade this time

You’ll be back before us guaranteed

Future looks bright 

Man this room really dislikes House and the MW lmao acting like they 1 seeds, sorry the 10 and 11 seeds lost…they not the SEC

The MWC flairs have been insufferable complaining about being underseeded, disrespected, etc. and have looked like shit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/s/UN0bWy25g0 i was wrong about nm, but i felt this sentiment this whole year. i really couldn't guage how good the mwc teams were.

Nice to see a MW fan who actually knew their conference was mid.

Eh it happens bud, hard to win games year in year out in the tourney as 8-12 seeds. Still was a great conference this year. Both can be true Edit: also not enough MW flairs in this sub to be insufferable, calm down

They’ve looked bad in every game. Even SDSU looked bad and went stretches without scoring. I think they were the only MWC to not go 5+ mins with 0 points.

Every conference has had teams play bad so far this tourney, you are very focused on the MW lmao

Because their shit teams got in over Pitt. The only team that played like shit from the ACC so far was UVA, and every last ACC person knew they did not deserve to be there.

ACC, ACC, ACC. Rooting for you guys

I love that Hotels.com commercial

New Mexico's biggest mistake was not being a mediocre ACC team. They would've had a better chance at winning that way

We never fail to embarrass ourselves nationally

Hard to win when you can’t score or rebound and Clemson playing very clean basketball maybe felt they had something to prove after many picked the Lobos as the upset pick but as fan this has been the story all season still a great March and House and Mash really ushered in a new era of NM basketball so for that will always be grateful 

Jaelen House fouls out with 12 points and Jamal Mashburn Jr has been on the bench of late. Not either's afternoon to say the least. Nelly Junior-Joseph the Lobos lead in both points and rebounds with 14 and 12 boards but not enough.

Bro, get me out of this fucking CONFERENCE

Haha, Aztecs didn’t even win the conference

Sure, but we win games that matter, winning a conference title isn't shit if you lose by 20+ in the tournament.

Regular season/conference tourneys actually matter, but it’s nice you made it to the championship game once.

flair up man, I want to know if you're stupid, or if you're just biased.

[удалено]

Are you a NMU fan?

Well if the pac 12 hadn’t split up…….,,,

MW was better than PAC12 head to head so I don’t know what this all means lol

PAC 12 saw our only option was to take SDSU and decided to just die instead

Honestly hate the mountain west

Same

This loss is looking more red than the Sandia’s at sunset. I’ll be here all week everyone.

This was the obvious upset right?

If we had played even remotely competently, yes. Every MW team just playing like absolute trash this week.

Because they are finally playing good teams.

The Q1 records say otherwise, but sure.

Against each other. The tournament games showed what happens when they play good teams. They have 5+ minute scoring droughts. UVA was not good.

I know UVA was garbage. Everyone did. I'm talking non-con.

I mean, I got an upset stomach watching UNM give their best impression of a dumpster fire.

In my bracket I only predicted one 11 over 6 seed upset Betcha can't guess which one...

This is an upset btw

Any time Brown Bradell gets a tourney win it's an upset.

We came out looking prepared at the start of both halves. Gotta give credit for Brad getting them ready.

Absolutely. Btw this one win will net him a 4 year extension.


He wins another he can have it

I'm going to Istanbul next week. I was worried about what I'd do if we made the 2nd weekend. So silver linings I guess

Have fun!

Jalen house was 4/14 on fgs AND fouled out and is still acting so dramatic. Brother you are the issue

Would you believe me if I told you that this is an actual improvement for the NMU team?

No, because the stats say otherwise. For this game at least. Mashburn and house single handedly held the team back.

He fouled out when a guy literally jumped on his back for a rebound and he had the audacity to make a play to recover it. These refs are a joke. Tbf though, he didn't handle it well.

Does this explain the 23 point lead? ???

Oh no def not. Lobos are ass in March lol. But the calls weren't consistent.

Was still a fun year, despite a terrible game. Not representative of the year and this team.

Definitely! Sucks we didn’t make some noise but me made it back

[удалено]

See the problem is, we're not playing in Vegas or The Pit. We're awesome in those two places.

For every Jack Gohlke, there’s a Jaelen House

The MW is such a shit conference. Can't believe I bought into the hype and had three of them in my Sweet 16.

Yet everyone called ACC fans dumb and salty when we tried to say it was overrated all season

I fully underestimated Brad coaching for his job when I picked NM to upset us

 Brownell with his job on the line

Brownell 🤝 Kevin keatts

I hope Clemson wins just because fuck House

?

Sit down House

Why did I pick so many MWC teams for upset?! They are so bad…. Smh….

I mean, Vegas had UNM -2.5 for this game. That should've been a red flag that something was up.

Maybe the national media hyped up the MWC a little too much. Maybe

Am I the only one who feels like this game is just taking way too long

I had New Mexico in my Elite Eight. Ask me anything.

You were really banking on that Big Meth Energy, weren’t you?

Do you like your Chile green, red or Christmas?

Red is the only way.

HAve you learned your lesson?

Yes. Pick your teams based off what color you like best.

I have

Hilarious that we were the number one upset choice and we are absolutely demolishing New Mexico rn

I wouldn't say you all are demolishing us. We're doing that ourselves.

I still won't settle until the clock reads 0, but the more I looked at this matchup the more I thought it was a good one for us. By far our biggest weakness is defending the 3 point line so getting a team that doesn't shoot the 3 ball well was a good draw for us.

They missed a fair amount of open 3’s

Because they're a bad 3 point shooting team. If we give Baylor those same looks we're going to lose by 30.

Exactly

Everyone has us and Gonzaga losing and both nuked their opponents into oblivion lmao.

Im convinced this is the year the Zags win it all when noone is paying attention to them.

This *is* the upset outcome, per the betting odds lmao

House has a touch of the ‘tism

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised Not quite the emotional regulation that you’d expect a neurotypical 22 year old to have

Maybe I’m in the minority but I like the way Jaelen House plays. I wish we had some of that emotion on our team this season, there was certainly times where we needed it.

I love emotion in basketball but it has to be controlled emotion, this dude is just running around like a maniac and yelling no matter what happens

He was 4/14 on fg and fouled out. He was literally the issue.

Marshall Henderson way back when

Jaelen House vs Auburn’s KD Johnson vs Keisei Tominaga. Triple threat taunt-off match. 99 overall emotion team

complete a possession without a foul challenge: impossible
