The Clemson Tigers may be known more for their football program than their men's basketball team, but they're going to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 following a dominant 84-53 victory over the fourth-seeded Auburn Tigers on Sunday in San Diego.
The victorious Tigers are the No. 5 seed in the Midwest Regional and will the face top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks on Friday.
The game resembled a showdown between a No. 1 and No. 16 seed—the UMBC Retrievers excluded—more than one between a No. 4 and No. 5 seed, as the ACC representative rolled to a commanding win with a head-turning 57-16 run after the game was tied at 13 in the early going.
