Clemson players and head coach Monte Lee spoke before the start of the NCAA Tournament about how this Tigers team was ready to forget past history and advance out of its own regional for the first time in three years.

Vanderbilt tied an NCAA Tournament record with nine home runs and Commodores shortstop Connor Kaiser tied a tournament record with 10 RBIs as Vanderbilt destroyed Clemson 19-6 Sunday night.
