Clemson’s men’s basketball team remains unranked in the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll following their opening week. With a 2-0 start to the season, the Tigers earned nine votes, placing them just outside the Top 25 and ranking 13th among other teams receiving votes. Among ACC teams, Clemson trails only Duke, North Carolina, and Wake Forest, who had slightly more points.
So far, Clemson’s season looks promising. They earned dominant wins over Charleston Southern and Saint Francis, showcasing strong performances on both ends of the court. Looking to build on these early victories, the Tigers have two challenging matchups ahead. First, against Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday at home, followed by a road game at Boise State. Both games provide critical opportunities for Clemson to make a case for national attention and move closer to a second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance under head coach Brad Brownell.
The ACC looks to make a deeper impression down the line as they are not prevalent in these early rankings.
