When Clemson traveled to Raleigh for a three-game set against NC State in late April, the Tigers were riding high.
Erik Bakich’s team had won 10 of its previous 12 games and was fresh off a win over a top-five Georgia squad. However, what transpired in Raleigh sent Clemson into a tailspin.
Not only were the Tigers swept, but NC State took all three games in rather dominating fashion. Clemson would go on to lose its next two ACC series at Florida State and at home against Duke, as well as dropping a midweek game at Coastal Carolina.
