I’m trying really hard to appreciate it, but I have to admit, I’m super disappointed right now. We played hard but just never seemed to get into a good rhythm after Alabama came back in the first half and took the lead. Even though we scored over 80 it didn’t feel like it.
It took us too long to start hitting some threes. And we absolutely picked the wrong game to inexplicably go cold on our free throws. I don’t know what that was about. If we had shot our season average I think we would’ve won this game.
Hats off to Alabama though. They hit some incredible shots. Hard to fault our defense on most of those.
I believe we will be back in the Elite Eight again, and it won’t be 44 years this time.
So proud of this team! I’ll never forget this season. Go Tigers!
