Alabama played like a team wanting to make

The Final Four for the first time in program history. Clemson did not! Free throws were costly and horrendous tonight! They were 8-16. Might have won the game if they shoot like the 78% team that they are. They were a top 10 team in free throw makes all year!!! Great season, but disappointing performance tonight in this category with so much on the line.

Alabama is just better. Much better at shooting and rebounding. They will make the final four and leave the final four quickly because UConn will destroy them!

Alabama has nothing to do with our players missing free throws. That is mental.

No Alabama played like a team with leprechaun sticking out of their a$$...Did you not see the 40 footers they were throwing up and making? You can't defend that sh*t...that was a collective display of 2017 Steph Curry.

And I saw a Clemson team despite what Alabama did, have a scoring drought that “turned the tide” of the game, and not handle their business at the free throw line. Clemson turned it up in the 2nd half and started making 3s too late. Game boiled down to execution and performance. Clemson made too many mistakes. They were more than capable of winning this game.

Nice run, with lots of good basketball, but hate that we never even played a great game. Defensive rebounding must be fixed. Stupid Buffalo Wild wing Buffalo is right, just find a body immediately once shot goes up, but obviously NOT ingrained as should be.
Bama was better, but this was a winnable game w just a bit more focus

I have watched Bama and no they have not done that all year. They avg 34% beyond the arc as a team this team and they shot 45% tonight.

I think there's a phrase they use in golf that goes "it's not how you drive, it's how you arrive"
I think that's applicable here...it's not how you play the first 10 minutes that determines a game, it's the last 10 that matter

Moreso than our shooting. We left their shooters wide open on most of their 3s. Rebounds I also attribute to defense. That’s a wrap.

Yep. We should have allowed drives to be defended 1/1 vs collapsing. Oh well. Really, it was FTs and missed 3s. Scheflein was 0fer 3s I think and terrible FTs. PJ FTs also terrible

To say our guys didn't want it enough is just idiotic

Bama shot better period, the loss had nothing to do with effort and "want to".

Game plan was good.
We just didn’t hit our shots. It happens.

Clemson never quit and played with effort. However, it wasn’t enough. Too many mistakes. Great season, but disappointing performance at the charity stripe was too costly.

Our guys never quit. They continued to make plays to respond to Bama

but in the end Bama just made more plays. You can knitpick at things we didn't do, but every chance we had to fold and let Bama seal it, we'd step up and answer again. We didn't lose, they just beat us. Very proud of our guys!
