Watch: Clemson coaching staff lead team’s wild celebrations after upset win vs California

Beating AP Top 25 teams will always be huge for underdog squads. Clemson's victory over No. 20-ranked California is no exception.

After beating the Golden Bears 69-58 on Thursday, the Tigers' coaching staff led the celebrations as they entered the team room by hilariously throwing water at the players with excitement. The March Madness women's basketball page posted the memorable moment on Instagram.
