The latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll was released on Monday, as well as the latest AP Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll.
Clemson (16-3, 6-0 ACC) moved up to No. 18 in the Coaches Poll, while Clemson also moved up to No. 18 in the AP Poll.
Last week, the Tigers debuted at No. 21 in the Coaches Poll and No. 22 in the AP Poll. Last week marked the first time this season that the Tigers were ranked in the Top 25 in either poll.
Brad Brownell’s team is coming off its ninth consecutive victory — a 69-59 win over Miami this past Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson.
The Tigers also defeated Boston College, 74-50, this past Tuesday in Littlejohn.
Clemson remains undefeated both at home and in ACC play this season. The Tigers have started ACC play 6-0 for just the second time in program history (2022-23, 7-0), and Saturday’s victory over the Hurricanes marked Clemson’s 14th straight ACC regular season win dating back to last season.
Clemson will stay at home and host NC State when it returns to the court on Tuesday. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Littlejohn Coliseum. The game will air on ACC Network.
Clemson is currently tied for first place in the ACC standings with Duke (17-1, 6-0 ACC).
The Tigers are now the third-ranked ACC team in both polls, behind Duke (No. 5 Coaches Poll, No. 5 AP Poll) and Virginia (No. 15 Coaches Poll, No. 14 AP Poll).
