TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Across three seasons, two schools, and four matchups, R.J. Godfrey has scored 42 points against the Alabama Crimson Tide – 19 of which came in Clemson’s 90-84 loss at Coleman Coliseum on Wednesday.
Godfrey, the Tigers’ (7-2) leading scorer against the No. 12 Crimson Tide, opened his night with 10 of Clemson’s first 16 points, in a lopsided half where scores evaded the Tigers and seemed effortless for the Tide (6-2).
By the time Godfrey knocked down his ninth and 10 points with a hook-shot in the paint with 8:59 left in the first period, Alabama had already drained seven three-pointers to stretch its lead 31-16.
