TL/DR
In the first year of the ACC-SEC Challenge, the Alabama Crimson Tide fell to the Clemson Tigers 85-77 on Tuesday night on its home floor. The SEC claimed four of the seven games on Tuesday, and the other seven games will be played on Wednesday. The loss broke Alabama’s 19-game home winning streak. The Tide fell to 5-2, while the surprising Clemson Tigers improved to 6-0 on the season.
As has been a common thread with ‘Bama losses in the Oats era, defensive collapses, cold shooting and an inability to manufacture points largely doomed the Tide’s offense — who still put up respectable totals but were unable to keep up with the Tigers who found way too many easy buckets all night.
