Clemson’s amazing season came to end Saturday night when it fell to Alabama.  Following the game head coach Brad Brownell, PJ Hall, Chase Hunter and Joseph Girard III met with the media.

The Tigers talked about the loss to Bama, the NCAA tournament run to the Elite 8, their feelings about Clemson and much more.

Brownell’s Opening Statement

BRAD BROWNELL: “First off, what a basketball game. Fans were treated to some high-level play especially in the second half. The shot-making was elite. Credit to Alabama. Give Nate and his kids a lot of credit for the win. It’s a huge win for their program. And they deserved it.

“Their second half performance was outstanding. And for whatever reason, we had a hard time guarding them. I need to do a better job helping our players be better on that end.

“But I’m so proud of my team and especially these three guys. The ride we’ve been on the last couple of weeks has certainly been memorable, not just for all of us but our fan base, which is significant. But more than that, just for the kind of people we have in our program.

“Our players are just such good kids and they allow us to coach them and they represent our university in an unbelievable way. And, man, it’s just a joy. And I love all of them dearly, and I’m just sad that we’re not going to get to play more together because we’ve just had so much fun. And this is such a fun-loving group, that the hardest part about these losses is that it’s the end of a season.

“But a lot of great memories. Again, super proud of our guys, our team, what they accomplished. And again, congratulations to Alabama.”
