OUTLOOK First round: Defeated Drake, 78-74
Second round: Lost to Connecticut, 83-45
After Clemson lost 56-54 to North Carolina in the ACC quarterfinals, Tigers coach Jim Davis said, "I don't think our season is over." And despite 11 losses on the season, he was right as Clemson heads into its fifth straight NCAA Tournament. Freshman Chrissy Floyd, who averages a team-high 12.2 points, leads the way, as does junior Erin Batth (9.3 points and 7.4 rebounds), who Davis said "played like a warrior" in the ACC tournament.
