Wondering if Pringle is going for Bama or if he is out as well with that heel bruise. That would be a huge one for them, as PJ and Ian would be able to own the paint if Pringle is out.

Nelson with a second foul this early is huge. I wondered how Schieffelin would match up. But he held his own early

11:48 1st: RJ Godfrey with the strong bucket through the foul and Clemson leads 14-11 with a free throw to come. The Tigers had missed 8-of-10 before the make. They're still looking for a first 3-pointer, but Clemson big men have accounted for all 14 points so far.

PJ out of whack and JG can’t hit a 3. Need the second man to step up! And stop letting Mr. Department store hit those 3s.

Alabama continues to drain the threes and takes its largest lead yet, 68-59, with 6:12 to go. They are 8-of-12 this half on 3-pointers, which is more made threes than any NCAAs opponents vs. Clemson in a whole game.

Clemson goes into the bonus on free throws with 5+ to go. Ian Schieffelin can't take advantage and Clemson drops to 7-12 on free throws before another Bama 3-pointer.

Yeap we are done without Hall being in there. The sad thing about it is this was the best chance to get to the final four with these good players we had. But you have to play smart and Hall hasn’t always done that.

Final: (4) Alabama 89, (6) Clemson 82. Clemson's second-ever Elite Eight ends up short of the Final Four, and the Tigers finish 24-12. Alabama makes its first Final Four as a program.

Brownell: First off, what a basketball game. Fans were treated to some high level play. The shot-making was elite in the second half...I needed to do a better job of preparing my team for their offense...Proud of the team. Our players are such good kids and they represent the school in an unbelievable way. I'm just sad I won't get to coach them all again. Congratulations to Alabama.

Brownell says Alabama's offensive style makes any lead or deficit even bigger despite the scoreboard. Quality of play in the second half was unreal. Says he is disappointed in the rebounding deficit. Says his team played well but couldn't get the stops needed to win the game.

Regarding pitch to transfers... Brownell says Clemson has tremendous people, coaches, athletic support and administration. Says it's a great place to live and touts the two Sweet 16 appearances and more postseason bids since Littlejohn was renovated. He says Girard's story tells it as good as anything he can say.

Brownell on PJ Hall, Brownell has to pause because he's emotional: He's obviously special because he's a Top 50 guy in our state who stayed home. That kid has been through the war. He's had major surgeries. The best thing about him is he's just a regular guy. One of the reasons we're in the Elite 8 is our best player allows me to be demanding of him. His parents deserve an unbelievable amount of credit and it's been a pleasure to coach him.
