The Clemson Regional might be the first time players of the Morehead State roster have played at Clemson, but it’s not the first time for their head coach.
Mike McGuire, now in his sixth season at Morehead State, has played and coached as much as anyone outside the Atlantic Coast Conference the last 26 years. McGuire first played at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, known as Tiger Field at the time, in 1992 as a player for the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Coincidently, it turned out to be Bill Wilhelm’s 1,100th victory as Clemson’s head coach as the Tigers downed the Gamecocks 5-3 in a midweek game in April.
