Clemson v. Alabama Elite 8 Preview: Tigers Face a Familiar Foe - Natasha827 - 03-12-2025
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Currently, it's 12:05 AM Eastern Requirement time on Friday. I time stamp this so I can keep in mind the time I reached claim The Clemson Tigers MEN'S BASKETBALL group is going to the ELITE 8. " It's surreal. I still am having to relax from what we experienced in LA tonight. I time stamp this as well to state that the buzzer has actually appeared and the 4-seed Alabama Crimson Tide have upset 1-seed North Carolina, 89-87. I'm not mosting likely to lie, as a follower I desired UNC just for the poetic justice that it would certainly be originating from a possible win, but it will be simply as fun to see the 2 teams that challenged on the Gridiron in 2018 for a football nationwide title currently challenge on the hardwood to punch a ticket to either group's very first Last Four. The great and negative is Clemson has encountered, and defeated, Alabama prior to. The Tigers went to Tuscaloosa and ripped off the 23rd placed Tide 85-77. The Tigers leaned on major performances from their triad of Seeker, Hall and Girard Kolby Peavy Jersey. RJ Godfrey and Ian Schieffielin likewise placed in Yeoman's work in grinding down Alabama while Clemson's protection held the high-flying Tide to 77. The good concerning this suit up is straightforward, Clemson has faced this group in the past and won. The Tide struggle to safeguard, and in this most current version of Clemson, protection is the side of the ball that succeeds. The Tigers have actually dealt with three teams in the Competition that desire to stand up and down the court and score, and Bama is no different. That brings me to my second point, the bitter pill of this: Clemson has encountered this team before and won. The old proverb goes It's tough to beat a team two times" and this is going to press Clemson. The Trend have not reduced down whatsoever this year. They average around 91 factors a game. Mark Sears and Aaron Estrada are the 2 primary scoring hazards, but the entire cast of characters, including their fairly deep bench, position an additional strike that provides Nate Oats group a shot to get Clemson back. However again, Clemson has actually been on a relatively crazy run of high caliber capturing and thrifty protection. If they remain to play like they have the last 3 games, they take a crack at to do the absolutely unimaginable.
