The Clemson Tigers’ men’s basketball team won its 2024-25 season opener, 91-64, over Charleston Southern Monday night at Littlejohn Coliseum.
The Tigers (1-0), fresh off a deep and unexpected NCAA Tournament run to the Elite Eight, got 17 points apiece from sixth-year Chase Hunter and Illinois State transfer Myles Foster in the victory.
Cincinnati Bearcats transfer forward Viktor Lahkin added 12 points to give the Tigers three players in double figures. Boston College transfer Jaeden Zackery started and played 26 minutes, scoring six points on 3-of-5 shooting.
Senior forward Ian Schieffelin played a team-high 30 minutes and had eight points to go with nine rebounds and three assists.
Coach Brad Brownell began his 15th season at the helm in Clemson. With the recent retirement of longtime Virginia coach Tony Bennett, Brownell is now the second longest tenured coach in the ACC behind Leonard Hamilton of Florida State.
Clemson returns to Littlejohn Coliseum Friday night when the Tigers host the St. Francis (PA) Red Flash. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on ACC Network Extra/ESPN+.
