Butler feels Tigers deserve NCAA Tournament bid

After having its best season in 17 years, the Clemson women’s basketball team hopes it did enough to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the tournament’s selection committee announces its field of 64 teams at 7 p.m., on March 18.

The Tigers finished the regular season with an 18-11 overall record, including a 9-7 mark in the ACC.

Like the men’s team, the Clemson women appear to be sitting right on the bubble of being in or out as it heads into the ACC Tournament this week in Greensboro, N.C.

“I don’t think in this league there is anyway you can leave someone out of that field with a record off 9-7, knowing what this competition is like,” Clemson head coach Amanda Butler said on Tuesday at Littlejohn Coliseum.
