Alabama vs. Clemson Team News and Key Performers

Alabama Crimson Tide Team News

Alabama were without the services of senior guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. (head) on Thursday, and his status for this game is questionable.

Alabama stunned top-seeded North Carolina in the Sweet 16 with their elite offense and timely plays. Senior forward Grant Nelson produced a double-double with 24 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks, shooting 10 of 13 from the free-throw line. Senior guard Aaron Estrada and sophomore guard Rylan Griffen both scored 19 points and grabbed four boards to complement Nelson's output.

Star guard Mark Sears, who had 18 points on 7 of 14 shooting, had a relatively quiet night. Sears averages 21.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, which put him in the fray for the SEC Player of the Year award that ultimately went to Tennessee's Dalton Knecht.

Clemson Tigers Team News

The Tigers were led by Guard Chase Hunter, who scored 18 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and made five assists in the Sweet 16.

Senior centre PJ Hall also made a significant contribution with 17 points and eight rebounds.

Hall leads the Tigers with 18.4 PPG and 6.5 RPG, while senior guard Joseph Girard III averages 15.0 PPG and is an exceptional 3-point shooter. Junior forward Ian Schieffelin makes Clemson an unstoppable force in the paint, as he nearly averages a double-double with 9.9 PPG and 9.4 RPG.

Head-to-Head Records

These two teams met once this season already, with Clemson beating Alabama and snapping a double-digit home win streak on November 28, 2023. Neither Alabama nor Clemson has ever made the Final Four, so one program will be making history when the nets are cut on Saturday night.
