Clemson men's basketball doesn't make latest AP Top 25

---

Clemson men’s basketball has won five in a row and just matched its best start ever in ACC action with two conference road wins last week.

The 13-3 mark overall this season didn't rise to the level of this week's Associated Press Top 25, however, getting the 27th-most votes in the latest poll on Monday.

Clemson is 54th in the latest NCAA NET rankings with a 3-1 record versus NET Quadrant 1 teams but two Quadrant 4 losses (No. 255 Loyola-Chicago by 18 at a neutral site; No. 264 South Carolina 2-point loss on the road).

The Tigers are 53rd in the KenPom rating, 48th with ESPN’s BPI and 40th in the Sagarin rankings.

Clemson is 17th in NCAA.com’s Power Rankings.

Clemson is going for its first ever 6-0 start in ACC play against 2-14 (0-5 ACC) Louisville at home in a 9 p.m. tip Wednesday (RSN).
