Dani Edwards waited all of her life, including her first three years at Clemson, to play in the NCAA Tournament. So, when she took her shot in Friday’s first-round game you can imagine how nervous she was.
The three-point attempt hit nothing. It was an air ball.
Luckily for No. 9 seed Clemson that was the worse shot Edwards took all day. The senior caught fire in the fourth-period, scoring 12 of her 25 points in the fourth period as Clemson rolled to a 79-66 victory over No. 8 seed South Dakota in the Portland Regional in Starkville, Miss.
