Clemson men's basketball makes AP Top 25 debut |
Clemson men's basketball made its Associated Press Top 25 debut on Monday.
The Tigers were ranked No. 24. At 7-0, Clemson is off to its best start yet under Brad Brownell, and the top for the program since 2008-09 (16-0). The Tigers debuted at No. 18 in the NCAA’s NET ranking resume metrics tool, which paced the ACC (Virginia next-best at No. 27). Clemson improved to 2-0 versus NET Quadrant 1 teams with the wins over Pittsburgh and Alabama last week. As it stands currently, 7-0 South Carolina’s trip to Clemson on Wednesday would also be a Q1 game (8 p.m./ACCN). Clemson had just six voting points in last week’s AP Poll, which was 41st-most. The Tigers were last ranked going into February of last season, at No. 19. AP Top 25 1. Arizona (59 1st votes) 2. Kansas (1) 3. Houston (3) 4. Purdue 5. UConn 6. Baylor 7. Gonzaga 8. Marquette 9.
