2010 was filled with many great and record-breaking moments for our student athletes. At the completion of the 2009-2010 academic year, Clemson was one of only eight schools in the nation to be selected for a bowl game, the NCAA men's basketball tournament, and the NCAA baseball tournament.

Five of Clemson's spring sports teams ranked in the final top 20 for only the second time in history. Clemson was also one of only two schools in the country to produce a first-round draft selection in baseball, basketball and football in 2010.   

In Basketball, the Tigers won 21 games and made their third straight NCAA Tournament Appearance. This gave Clemson a school record four consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins and three consecutive winning seasons in ACC play.  

Tiger Baseball finished the season ranked 4th after reaching the College World Series for the 12th time in school history.

The Tiger program also collected ACC Championships in women's indoor and outdoor track and field. 

In early December, DaQuan Bowers won the Bronko Nagurski award as the top defensive player in college football.
