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.
