The Clemson Tigers are playing some excellent basketball and are finally starting to gain some national attention. It has been a great campaign so far for the Tigers, and with March now here, the program is hoping to replicate the success they had last year.

Clemson’s position in the NET rankings remains unpredictable despite its strong overall performance this season. The Tigers, ranked No. 13 in the AP Poll, enter the week at No. 21 in the latest NET update.

Brad Brownell's Clemson Tigers earned their highest ranking in the AP Top 25 men's basketball poll since 2018.

For the fourth straight week, the Clemson Tigers are on the move up the AP Top 25. Clemson (24-5, 16-2 ACC) jumped two spots to No. 11 in this week's poll on Monday, after setting a single-season program record for conference wins last week.

The No. 13 Tigers, who won 5-3 in Clemson last night, went up 2-0 in the rivalry series heading into Sunday’s finale at Founders Park in Columbia. It’s the first time Clemson (9-1) has won back-to-back series against USC since 2017-18.

A three-run homer from Collin Priest in the eighth inning helped Clemson (10-1) break the game open, while Jarren Purify added an RBI single in the fifth. However, the biggest story of the day was the Tigers' pitching.
