Clemson shot 48-percent from the field but turned the ball over 27 times in Tuesday night’s loss to Alabama.
The Tigers fell to the Crimson Tide 65-54 in Littlejohn Coliseum despite senior Kobi Thornton tying her career high. Alabama took full advantage of Clemson turnovers scoring 39 points off turnovers.
The Lady Tigers certainly showed up to play good defense and held Alabama without a field goal until 1:16 to play in the first period. And they took a 12-6 lead out of the first quarter but couldn’t keep control of the game.
Clemson head coach Amanda Butler was proud of how her team started the game with poise but wants the Lady Tigers to keep their composure offensively to ensure success on the court.
