Clemson basketball’s non-conference schedule revealed for 2024-25, including game vs Kentucky

CLEMSON — Clemson basketball revealed its full non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season Thursday.

The Tigers will begin their season on Oct. 30 against Augusta University in an exhibition game at Littlejohn Coliseum. They will face Charleston Southern, Saint Francis, Eastern Kentucky, Radford, Florida A&M, Kentucky and Memphis at home. On the road, Clemson will battle Boise State and South Carolina and go against two Sunshine Slam opponents in Daytona Beach, Fla. (neutral site), in November.

Clemson will host five of the eight winningest programs (Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Notre Dame) in college basketball history in 2024-25. The Tigers will host the Wildcats in the second annual ACC/SEC Challenge and face Memphis in the second game of a home-and-home series that began last season.

The Tigers will travel to Boise State to return a trip in a home-and-home series after the Broncos came to Littlejohn Coliseum last season. Clemson will also travel to South Carolina this season for its annual meeting.

Clemson coach Brad Brownell, who received a three-year contract extension this offseason, enters his 15th season as the Tigers’ coach. He aims to get his team to back-to-back NCAA tournaments for the first time since 2010-11. Under Brownell, the Tigers have had only one losing season and have made the NCAA tournament four times, including three times in the last seven years.

Clemson lost key contributors from last season’s team, including PJ Hall, Joseph Girard III and RJ Godfrey, but the team added four transfers to complement Chase Hunter and Ian Schieffelin.
