Monte Lee firmly believes his Clemson baseball team can compete with anybody in the country. That is why, despite being the No. 3 seed, he thinks the Tigers have as good of a chance as anyone in this weekend’s Oxford (Miss.) Regional.
“If we play good baseball, we can compete with anybody,” Clemson’s head coach said Monday after learning of his team’s 11th straight bid into the NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers (34-24) will play Illinois, who is coming out of the Big Ten Conference as the No. 2 seed, Friday at 4 p.m., in Game 1 of the Oxford Regional.
