With the 78-61 beat-down of USC-Upstate in the rear-view mirror, the Alabama Crimson Tide (5-4) now turn their attention towards another school from upstate South Carolina, the Clemson Tigers (7-2). They may both be from the same area, but this Tiger team doesn’t have much else in common with the Spartans that Alabama easily dispatched of Tuesday night. This is an experienced, talented group that is in a bit of a “put-up or shut-up” kind of year for head coach Brad Brownell. When do-it-all forward Jaron Blossomgame announced that he would be returning to school for his senior season, this year officially became an NCAA Tournament-or-bust year for Clemson.
