Clemson was having a rough opening game during the 2025 men's NCAA tournament but it got worse on a controversial call in the second half.
The Tigers trailed McNeese State 51–38 with 6:04 remaining in the game when center Viktor Lakhin fouled Sincere Parker, giving the Cowboys two free throws. The foul was Lakhin's fourth, and after he committed it, he said something to Parker. That was a bad idea.
