The Tigers had impressive wins — including over Duke, Penn State, Pitt and NC State three times. However, bad losses ultimately kept Clemson out.
Clemson went 23-10 (14-6) this season and earned the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament. The Tigers are the first top three seed in the ACC tourney to miss the NCAA Tournament since Virginia in 2000.
