Like every other game against Clemson over the last two years, it will probably come down to a play at the end, for better or for worse.
We look at each game on the schedule as a separate entity. We play it, we evaluate it, then we wipe the slate clean and move on.
We're doing some good things. We're shooting the ball better. But you can't shoot free throws like that and win a game in a tough environment.
We probably should've taken our chances, maybe, force them to make a jump shot. Until we start getting a stop at the end of the game or coming up with a 50-50 ball, you'll have a hard time winning close games.
They tried to break our spirit, and we put our arms around the game and found a way to win. That's what I'm most proud of.
The game came down to free throw situations where we didn't rebound the basketball. They got two big rebounds and extra possessions, and that was like a microcosm of our season.
We just don't have the ability to impose our will in the key moments of the game to win a game of this magnitude against a nationally ranked team.
