Arizona's NCAA Tournament run has come to an end earlier than expected.

The No. 2-seeded Wildcats were upset by the No. 6-seeded Clemson Tigers 77-72 on Thursday in the Sweet 16. It marks the program's second Sweet 16 exit in the last three years.

Wildcats guard Caleb Love failed to rise to the occasion in what was a disappointing performance as he finished with just 13 points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals. He went 5-of-18 from the floor and 0-for-9 from deep.

After the game, Love was slammed by college basketball fans for not elevating his game when the Wildcats needed it most:

Love spent the first three seasons of his college career at North Carolina before transferring to Arizona ahead of the 2023-24 season.

His performance throughout the year was a big reason why the Wildcats secured a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but now they have nothing left to show for their efforts following Thursday's loss.

While Arizona heads home, Clemson is moving on to the Elite Eight and will face the winner of Thursday's game between No. 1-seeded North Carolina and No. 4-seeded Alabama.
