If you have not checked in with Clemson basketball just yet due to the ongoing football season, well it is now over so now might be the time to do so. The Tigers are currently sitting at 8-1 and have knocked off Florida State at home and Miami on the road over the past week. It was enough to get them back into the Top-25.
This is by far Brad Brownell’s deepest team to date, and just might be his best, though that is yet to be determined. Either way, there is definitely a foundation in place for a program that has not experienced a ton of success over the years.
