Rest at the right time.

Brad Brownell and the Tigers got a week off after a win over Virginia Tech, with another Saturday matchup on the road in Raleigh looming.

This group is now winners of eight of their last nine, and that success has only raised the stock for their tournament chances

With the success Clemson has found and a showdown with Duke edging closer on the calendar, how does the Tigers’ resume look? Where would Brownell’s team head in March if the season ended today?

Here’s a look at Clemson’s NCAA NET ranking, March matchups, and more.

Clemson’s most significant swing comes in its upper quadrants. The win over Penn State has shifted back and forth between quad-one and two, but currently has shifted back to a quad-one victory.

Stanford and Wake Forest were previously seen as quad-three victories, but have since bumped to quad-two, making the Tigers' conference wins look much better than it did in recent days.
