In the first night of the ACC/SEC Challenge, Kentucky clocked Miami 95-73, Georgia Tech pulled a stunner, beating #21 Mississippi State 67-59, Clemson took Alabama 85-77, Notre Dame lost to South Carolina 65-53, Syracuse frosted LSU 80-57, Missouri clipped Pitt 71-64 and Ole Miss smoked NC State 72-52.
We may get into the individual games more later, but Clemson was highly impressive. This year’s Alabama - so far anyway - has little in common with what we saw from the Tide last year, pre or post scandal. But the Tigers?
That’s a pretty sturdy team.
Alabama kept pushing back and Clemson just kept doing the right things and on the road.
