Dawes’ big-time play keeps Clemson's post-season hopes alive
During the game’s final timeout, and Clemson up by a point, head coach Brad Brownell instructed Al-Amir Dawes if Florida State scored to get the ball out and go make a play for his team.
“Through my head, I was like, ‘I’m just going to get it and go,” Dawes said while smiling.
And that is what he did.
After Florida State’s Trent Forrest made a jumper in the lane with nine seconds to play to put his team up one point, Dawes took the inbounds pass and weaved his way through the Seminoles’ before scooping up a shot that hung on the front of the rim for just a moment before dropping in with one-second left.
