After making it to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1980, the Clemson Tigers Men's Basketball team is not being seen as one of the top contenders in the country.
The Tigers men’s basketball team made it to the Elite Eight in last year’s NCAA Tournament. However, that didn’t seem to hold much weight as Matt Norlander of CBS Sports ranked them outside the Top 25 in hisThe writer ranked Clemson as the 34th-best team in the country despite ending last year as one of the best programs.
“What encore is in store for the team that made its first Elite Eight in 44 years? The Tigers have a healthy chance at a fifth NCAA Tournament push under Brad Brownell with the return of Chase Hunter at combo guard and power forwardSchieffelin will be the biggest reason why Clemson will find themselves back in contention for a National Championship in 2025 as he continues to impress on the court. He started all 36 games for the Tigers last season and recorded a career-high 27.5 minutes per game.
“Had PJ Hall come back, Clemson would have easily been a preseason AP Top 25 team. Without him, they'll look to make up some ground and can get their bona fides on defense with Cincinnati transfer Viktor Lakhin.”
