Clemson men’s basketball remains just outside the Top 25 despite a five-game winning streak, road ACC sweeps and strong analytics ahead of SMU.
The Clemson Tigers remained on the fringe of the national polls Monday, checking in at No. 28 in the Coaches Poll vote count and No. 31 in the Associated Press tally after climbing to 12–3 overall.
Clemson has won five straight games, including four against Power 4 competition, highlighted by back-to-back ACC road wins at Syracuse and Pittsburgh — a first in program history to open league play with two road games.
