Regional beginning Friday at Goodwin Field.This will be Clemson\u2019s first trip to California to play a game since 1993, when the late Bill Wilhelm\u2019s final team played six games in a regular-season tournament in Fresno. Clemson played six games in that same tournament in 1988 as well. Those are the only games the Tigers have played in the state of California. Clemson was 3-3 in both tournaments.Clemson\u2019s RPI was 54 and with a record of 32-27 many wondered if Clemson had enough of a resume to get in. However, the Tigers also had a fairly strong finish, going 7-3 in their last 10 games. That closing stretch included a three-game sweep at then No. 8-ranked Florida State and a win against No. 4 Louisville in last week&#8217;s ACC Tournament.Now that all the guess work is done and the Tigers have a location and foe \u2013 they will play against No. 2 see Arizona St. Friday at 6 p.m. EST \u2013 they can breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on this weekend\u2019s games.\u201cIt&#8217;s a nerve-wracking time, you know?
