Let’s be honest, Clemson had no reason to be in position to win Sunday’s basketball game against Alabama. For much of the night, the Crimson Tide outplayed Clemson in their 51-50 victory at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville.
But when Donte Grantham drained a three-pointer from the top of the key with 2:16 to play, giving the Tigers a one-point lead, it seemed as if they were going to find a way to win the game.
However, that isn’t what happened. Still clinging to that same one-point lead, 50-49, nearly two minutes later, Clemson head coach Brad Brownell called a timeout with nine seconds left on the shot clock and 29 seconds left in the game.
