The Clemson women’s basketball program has struggled for a number of years, with its last NCAA tournament appearance coming in 2001-’02 season. The program has won just nine games in the ACC since 2013, posting its last winning season in conference play also in 2001-’02.
At one point the program was a tournament staple appearing in the NCAA tournament 14 out of 15 seasons (1987-2002) under the direction of Jim Davis. Everyone surrounding the program is eager to get back to that status from the administration to first year head coach Amanda Butler.
Fall practice tipped off this past week and in an exclusive interview Butler told The Clemson Insider that her team is excited to turn over a new leaf and has shown tremendous buy in since she took over the program on April 12 of this year.
