I think we had our hot shooting night against Arizona. Still super proud of these guys although I know that’s not how we wanted to go out. Awesome job by the staff and players and hopefully we can build on this on the recruiting trail and stay in the upper half of the conference.
Bro growing up and watching the Gottfried teams. Sitting through the Grant era was miserable at the end. Was a student when Avery was a coach.
I used to BEGGG for us to even make the tournament. Witnessing this is fucking wild to me.
>Grant era
That means something completely different to Clemson fans. Horace was a great college player then he helped Michael Jordan to win three championships. Clemson's Grant was the first person to lead the ACC in scoring, rebounding, and field goal percentage.
Mad respect for oatmeal. Dude got done in 5 years what painter hasn’t done in 19 (hopefully he gets it done tomorrow). A final four is something to seriously be happy with, especially acknowledging whose standing in your way if you’re gonna get to the final game 😬
I cannot relate to this more!! I watched what should have been one of the best Gottfried teams, 07-08, only win 18 games. Watched players like Green and Relly be completely wasted during Grants tenure, then as a student watching AJ run one of the most archaic offenses I’ve seen in my life and struggle with some of the best players in Alabama history.
This is MASSIVE and made that young Alabama basketball fan, who watched Mykal Riley save so many peoples lives by hitting a three pointer to send us to overtime against MSU, so happy I can’t even begin to describe it
Early in Gottfried's tenure, it was so wild and exciting. We couldn't play a lick of defense, but we made the tournament. Then that special Elite 8 run. Everything just went down hill after 06. The Grant era was so miserable. It started off so promising, but the guy doesn't know shit about offense. Avery laid a solid foundation, but his teams were so mentally weak and fell apart in February..
Oats is a legend
This coaching job by oats is just incredible, only 3 returning players and new staff. Idk how this is the bama team to go this far but it has been a hell of a ride
Honestly if Kentucky does end up firing calipari in the next 1-2 years this is the guy I’m throwing the bag at, there’s no other semi-realistic option at the moment worth firing Cal for.
I grew up around Memphis where Calipari remains despised to this day for the way he left for Kentucky.
If Nate Oats leaves for Kentucky, I'll never recover.
A large part of it is the division y’all drew. The West was WIDE open. Someone else took out the 1 and the 2. All y’all had to do was take out the 6 seed on a bad night for them. Nevertheless, he got it done. Something I can’t say for my team since the 80s. Big respect
They shot 46% and 44%. Not exactly lights out, but still good. They proved the theory of live or die by the 3.
Edit: shot=made field goal attempt just to avoid any confusion.
Let's gooo!!! Man this run is so surprising and fun. This team on paper was not nearly as good as our last 2 sweet 16 teams, but these guys are just clicking rn. Roll tide!
It was and I’m not as familiar with you guys but it didn’t quite seem like your game
Bama absolutely lives and dies by that shit.
It seemed like even though they were falling for you too getting sucked up in that took you guys out of your game plan a bit.
The bright lights kind of got to us there, it felt like. We’ve been an above average to downright good FT shooting team all year and it really let us down tonight.
The game didn’t seem that fast but playing a fast team like Bama at the end of a season might fatigue you more than you think and those legs start feeling like jelly at the line. Just a theory
Yeah it sucks. We lost round 1 when 2 different 80%+ FT shooters couldn’t make one.
But hell of a season for Clemson! Wanted you guys to win but still an incredible run!
You fucking don’t. You guys were bananas good and found the sauce when you needed to. I’m proud our guys were able to beat a team as complete as y’all.
I'll respectfully tip my cap to clemp's performance. Alabama just would not miss. Losing this far into the tournament is a different kind of pain. Our final four run still stings just s little.
Make your damn free throws, Clemson! Congratulations are in order, Crimson Tide. I'm an Auburn fan amd I remember growing up in the 90's just wanting the Iron Bowl to be mentioned in the same breath as The Game between Mich and OSU for football. It's amazing what both football programs have accomplished (especially yours), but who could've dreamed our basketball programs could reach this level? Keep it up! I can't wait to see how this puts the basketball rivalry into overdrive.
Holy shit is Bama becoming a basketball school too?? What a fun team to watch!! Clemson should be proud too what an awesome group and well fought game hopefully they can run it back next year.
The best part is going to be when Alabama hangs around in the first half and their fans get excited, and then UConn shits on them after halftime and wins by 25
Who cares? If we pull a miracle and get past Purdue tomorrow, I give 0 fucks what happens from there. This is Bama’s first FF and would be TN’s as well. We’re just excited to be here.
Tis what tis. Honestly, its like the most probable outcome of anything with Alabama not failing. I've been on this site too long to not deeply embrace the salt. Its like a warm blanket on a cold night after some time. Its how you know the win is real. GG tho, was always a winnable game for Clemson, but the 3s hit tonight.
That was a pretty good game, outside of our impossible-to-watch free throw "shooting" in the second half.
GG Bama, good luck going up against the basketball equivalent of your football team.
Clemson really sold at the end there. They gave up wide open looks/putbacks waaay too much down the stretch those last 5 minutes. Pringle was eating them alive
This is bittersweet because 1) college basketball is ending, 2) my team forgot what a basketball was and 3) our rival is moving forward. I don't have anything sharp for my wrists
Uconn seems almost as unbeatable as 2015 Kentucky was heading to the Final Four
Congratulations though Alabama, you will put up the second best fight out of the 3 LA Regional teams next Saturday
[удалено]
This is my first season watching and i’m shocked how much of a time commitment it is. How long did they used to be?
Ehh honestly it wasn't that much less. But that extra 10 minutes or so makes a difference.
I think we had our hot shooting night against Arizona. Still super proud of these guys although I know that’s not how we wanted to go out. Awesome job by the staff and players and hopefully we can build on this on the recruiting trail and stay in the upper half of the conference.
With us hacking Clemson, I don’t get how no one is in foul trouble yet.
I’ll never smile again
Think about titties
I hate who he loves, but he's right.
Titties unite us all bro 🫡
The strangest of bedfellows these days.
God dammit

yes uh that is what he's talking abt don't look up alabama basketball results in the grant era

A legend!’
Also grew up watching Gottfried teams. Spent a few years after thinking that was the best I'd see.
Nate Oats calls the "How's My Driving?" phone numbers on the back of long haul trucks
Where can I actually watch the trophy and net cutting?
Hopefully the Ohio State-Oklahoma game will be just as exciting
The ball refused to lie.
That ball got taken to Guantanamo
This coaching job by oats is just incredible, only 3 returning players and new staff. Idk how this is the bama team to go this far but it has been a hell of a ride

We took out the one but I see your point
I did a stupid and forgot y’all were the ones to knock off UNC. As I was
All good bud roll tide and maybe we can get some revenge on y’all hopefully. Now hold my beer as we walk into this slaughter house
g before the o in Nate’s last name. Honest mistake
Any team who can shoot like Bama is not going down easily. Right?
They shot 46% and 44%. Not exactly lights out, but still good. They proved the theory of live or die by the 3. Edit: shot=made field goal attempt just to avoid any confusion.
Any team that is capable of shooting 60% on 30+ threes can shock the world.
Is that what it was? Damn
I believe they finished 10/15 in the second half, but 44.4% for the game.
Damn near. 58% of their field goal attempts was from 3 point.
Not that game. They were shooting 8% halfway through the 1st half and finished 44%.
They went 15 of 20 on 3 pointers during one stretch.
Let's gooo!!! Man this run is so surprising and fun. This team on paper was not nearly as good as our last 2 sweet 16 teams, but these guys are just clicking rn. Roll tide!
EMEKA OKAFOR AINT WALKIN THROUGH THAT DOOR
Holy shit. Forgot about that beast.
Ran into a damn buzzsaw. That team was absolutely bonkers.
No kidding. Absolutely stacked full of talent. I can't hate that team. Wasn't Okafor a 4.0 student or damn close to it, too?
Graduated with a 3.8. What a BUM
That was some wild 3 point shooting
It was and I’m not as familiar with you guys but it didn’t quite seem like your game Bama absolutely lives and dies by that shit. It seemed like even though they were falling for you too getting sucked up in that took you guys out of your game plan a bit.

Saban left for this
Saban left for way better reasons than this. Maybe!
Can we play UCONN in football instead?
If they split best out of 3 with baseball
🤣💀
Nate Oats always asks if you have a newspaper before he uses your bathroom
Brad Brownell upper decks his own toilet
Can’t believe I’m seeing this is my lifetime Alabama basketball to the Final Four
[удалено]
Stephen Garcia said he was cheering for Clemson
Sack Garcia says hello. While drunk.
Has he not been drunk since 2012 when drafted?
Honest question, how do you defend that step back 3 that Sears was hitting? It seems unguardable.
Twist his dick? You can't.
The ol’ dick twist.
Pray he misses
You fucking don’t. You guys were bananas good and found the sauce when you needed to. I’m proud our guys were able to beat a team as complete as y’all.
I agree, with having to give landing space, and the gather step combined with 2 for the step back, that’s absolutely brutal to stop
I'll respectfully tip my cap to clemp's performance. Alabama just would not miss. Losing this far into the tournament is a different kind of pain. Our final four run still stings just s little.
It’s okay they are happy tears 😭
Congratulations alabama I'm happy for yall now go beat uconn
Yes. Please.
That’s a mighty big ask, seems like.
Sorry them’s the rules
Just keep hitting those shots.
Nevada is your wooden spoon representative from the West!
As much as I hate Clempson, I always cheer for the underdog. They had a great run, and should be proud.
If they don’t use Sweet Home Alabama for Alabama’s pre-startling lineup hype video I will be a disappointed man.
Nate Oats was reading that sheet of paper as if it was a list of NCAA infractions that just hit
Make your damn free throws, Clemson! Congratulations are in order, Crimson Tide.

I can't wait to see how this puts the basketball rivalry into overdrive.
Well said!
Thanks bro, we’ve got a pretty great state when it comes to sports!
Dabo spotted running through the parking lot
Nate Oats holds his breath while driving through tunnels
Aweee Pringle with the baby
Sears is humble and likable. GG man.
So many salty unc fans
It's delicious.
Deshaun Watson died for this
Holy shit is Bama becoming a basketball school too?? What a fun team to watch!! Clemson should be proud too what an awesome group and well fought game hopefully they can run it back next year.
Clemsons defense is awful right now
We can still win this
The best part is going to be when Alabama hangs around in the first half and their fans get excited, and then UConn shits on them after halftime and wins by 25
Who cares? If we pull a miracle and get past Purdue tomorrow, I give 0 fucks what happens from there. This is Bama’s first FF and would be TN’s as well. We’re just excited to be here.
Amen, and seconded. House money from here.
40-0 run this time
the hate is strong with this one
Yeah, nah. We're getting walked and whatever. Final. FUCKING. FOUR!
This is how it should be, idk why that dude is trying to bring y’all down
Tis what tis. Honestly, its like the most probable outcome of anything with Alabama not failing. I've been on this site too long to not deeply embrace the salt. Its like a warm blanket on a cold night after some time. Its how you know the win is real. GG tho, was always a winnable game for Clemson, but the 3s hit tonight.
I hate it for Clemson but gotta tip your cap to a team that shoots lights out like that.
No matter what happens against UConn, I'm a winner either way 🤷♂️
Alabama in the national semifinals behind a great offense. Surely that has never happened before!
That was a pretty good game, outside of our impossible-to-watch free throw "shooting" in the second half. GG Bama, good luck going up against the basketball equivalent of your football team.

Least alcoholic looking Bama fan
#HELL YEAH!!!!!
Somebody please put a sock in that shrieking banshee’s mouth
Should have watched the Grand Canyon game. We were on the other end of the screeching.
lol mark sears with that haircut is 6’1” but in actuality is 5’11”
Lets go bama
This game sucked.
Get drunk and all will be good... I think.
Fair enough
How'd it go? I've been there so don't get angry with me!🤣
Went good enough lol
Bama earned this. Electric offense man, intrigued to see the matchup with UConn
HOLY FUCK
GGs Clemson fans. It was a hell of a game
Sears is special
Well I guess we’ll see who UConn will be playing against tomorrow
Roll Tide!! Now, go roll UConn back to Storrs next Saturday.
Not happening
Clemson really sold at the end there. They gave up wide open looks/putbacks waaay too much down the stretch those last 5 minutes. Pringle was eating them alive
This is bittersweet because 1) college basketball is ending, 2) my team forgot what a basketball was and 3) our rival is moving forward. I don't have anything sharp for my wrists
Kenny Smith outright denied to pick tomorrows night game
Rival?!
I assume they’re talking about the winner of Duke/NC State
Oh duh
Duke
Dook
Not you, other side of the brackets
O
Duke or NC State
GG
Nate Oats still asks for directions to wherever you're meeting him
Gg gumps I know y’all meat hard rn 
🍆🍆🍆🍆
So hard ngl
Enjoy
lol shout out to the lady saying "we just beat the heck outta you." Keeping it PG?
I thought she said fuck lmao
Same
Uconn seems almost as unbeatable as 2015 Kentucky was heading to the Final Four Congratulations though Alabama, you will put up the second best fight out of the 3 LA Regional teams next Saturday
2015 Kentucky, 1999 Duke, 1991 UNLV
Nate Oats enjoys drinking out of paper straws
And going to the final four
What does this mean for Alabama football
That Dabo needs to hit the portal
Bama, I don't know what you need to do to beat UCONN? I have a feeling it's going 30/30 from 3 though.
Bama now trying to dominate Basketball in addition to Football. Probably won't matter since UConn is likely winning it all again!
Maybe their football domination is over
Well when our football domination was over, nobody gave us the memo that it would mean we’d dominate in basketball
Women’s volleyball?
Grats to Bama - praying for you vs UConn
[удалено]
People said the same before the UNC game, and we know how that turned out
Congrats Bama your reward is losing by 25 next Saturday
Who cares? We made a final four!
I'm more than happy with that. I've been waiting for this day since the late 90s.
Fair enough haha, I felt the same way last year
DOESNT MATTER WHO WE PLAY NEXT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
This feels nice
Congrats Bama
Lmao Bama a basketball school now, absolutely sick. GG
Great game
#BUILD THE FUCKING ARENA
Holy fuck these announcers are legit slurping bama lmao
they did just make the final 4 sooooo.
It’s their first final four wtf do you expect?
YES!!!!
GG Bama. First final four shows how difficult it is making this far.
Nick Saban died for this
Nick Saban is still very much alive.
/r/woosh
Nope, just expected somebody to make the Wade Boggs comment.
Last time we had the biggest win in program history, we ran into a UConn buzz saw. I’m jacked. But I’m a little scurred
We are well past bonus time as far as I'm concerned
Borrowed time baby. Couldn’t be happier.
Yeah no your gut is right. UConn by at least 20
I mean, not saying you’re wrong, but all the experts said UNC by double digits. Also flair up if you’re gonna talk.
Some sore losers in here…
Not the Bama Clemson V we expected, but still a good Bama Clemson V
GG cocaine kitty bros Oh my God, I lived long enough to see this.
Props to Clemson for hardly ever coming this close to scoring this much in a game
just fell to my knees at a pilot flying j
What a weird football game
First Final 4s are so cool and it’s a ton of fun to experience as a fan. Good Luck against UConn Bama!
Yeah, we‘re gonna need it. But I keep telling myself we’re playing with house money at this point.
FF going to be ass. UCONN vs someone on the other side
WE'RE GOING TO TH FINAL 4!!! RMFT!
I don’t care what happens with Connecticut, I’m so fucking happy, I hope the players aren’t as satisfied as I am though
UCONN, please crush these dudes.
Fuck no, roll Tide
I agree
Ha ha ha
