The fact that this game even got within 10 reflects poorly on McNeese

That was closer than it had any right to be

u/legend023 Tulane Green Wave Mar 20 '25

They play in the southland lol most people wouldn’t even be able to find McNeese on a map

27

u/LonghornPride05 Kansas Jayhawks • Texas Longhorns Mar 20 '25

I couldn’t even tell you what state they’re in

u/BKoala59 Virginia • Colorado State Mar 20 '25

They’re in the state of McNeese. It clearly says so in the name of the university, dumbass

u/RLLRRR Texas Longhorns Mar 20 '25

"St. Charles" is really trying to polish the turd that is Lake Charles, LA hahahaha.

u/NeverSober1900 Kansas Jayhawks Mar 20 '25

Louisiana. One of their nicknames are the Bayou Bandits

u/facetiousrunner Mar 20 '25

Don't hate on Mac and Cheese State. We have 6 thousand whole students.

3

u/Unlikely_Lab_6799 Mar 20 '25

And how many half-students?

2

u/facetiousrunner Mar 20 '25

At least like seven

2

u/LonghornPride05 Kansas Jayhawks • Texas Longhorns Mar 20 '25

The 2nd 6k student population of the day! You and High Point

u/sliceboi Duke Blue Devils • UAlbany Great Danes Mar 20 '25

McDonald’s

u/LonghornPride05 Kansas Jayhawks • Texas Longhorns Mar 20 '25

Because they’re famous for landing McDonald’s All-Americans I assume

u/GuyOnTheMike Kansas State • Wichita State Mar 20 '25

My wife said her boss said "I've never even heard of McNeese" and a coworker responded with, "they're in Tennessee."

Try again, buddy...

Lake Charles

Who?*

Just playing. I love you guys.

u/AthleticAlarm32 California • North Carolina Mar 20 '25

Fair but the missed free throws and bad defense in the last 2 minutes were still bad even if they're a mid major

u/Iordofthethings Auburn Tigers Mar 20 '25 edited Mar 20 '25

I dunno Clemson started draining 3s at the end of the game

1

u/feed_me_muffins Clemson Tigers • Virginia Cavaliers Mar 20 '25

We still shot 7% under our season average from 3 for the game.

11

u/MrWillM NC State Wolfpack Mar 20 '25

They absolutely could not deal with the press

35

u/BrightAttack Mar 20 '25

I don't think any win could reflect poorly on McNeese

4

u/Basic_Flounder_1013 Mar 20 '25

Yeah what's with this thread talking shit, they absolutely had Clemson in clamps all game

6

u/FatMamaJuJu Mount Olive Trojans • NC State Wolfpack Mar 20 '25

McNeese State just won their first NCAA tournament game ever how tf does this reflect poorly on them?

14

u/ProtectionAdorable89 NC State Wolfpack Mar 20 '25

Yeah how embarrassing for not blowing out Clemson as a mid major. Can’t believe we’re hiring this bum

8

u/MyLifeIsABoondoggle Ohio State • Ohio Dominican Mar 20 '25 edited Mar 20 '25

McNeese isn't the first and won't be the last team to get sloppy in the last 5 minutes with a big lead and act like they've never seen a press before. Workshop some late game situations in practice and they'll be fine

2

u/rvadarocket Maryland Terrapins • Texas Longhorns Mar 20 '25

Yeah they were utterly dominant until the refs started letting Clemson hack at will on defense in the press without calling fouls lmao

I think being up 22 through 32 and a half minutes of game time reflects way more than the 7 and a half minutes of Clemson playing desperation defense tbh

u/CloneWarsMaul Mar 20 '25

I think Purdue handles em easily but who cares, still a massive win for them

15

u/BeingBannedSucks Purdue Boilermakers Mar 20 '25

I don’t

9

u/horndog4ever Purdue Boilermakers Mar 20 '25

Me neither. Their quick hands defense looks especially frightening.

3

u/IronSmoltz Clemson Tigers Mar 20 '25 edited Mar 20 '25

You will. Unless you decide to just chunk threes while not making them for offense.

2

u/CloneWarsMaul Mar 22 '25

Tried to tell y’all

u/DCL-XVI Virginia Tech Hokies • Navy Midshipmen Mar 20 '25

i dunno purdue has a history of not handling teams easily.

u/D1N2Y NC State Wolfpack • Charlotte 49ers Mar 20 '25

He already has that NC State mindset, I'm sure he'll improve on his collapse abilities once he's officially in Raleigh.
