Clemson’s Record-Breaking Season Sets the Stage for ACC Tournament Run
Clemson basketball is making history. With their latest win, the No. 11 Tigers secured their 25th victory of the season, tying the program’s regular-season record set in 1986-87. Their 17 ACC wins mark the most in school history, further solidifying their dominance in their conference.
Under Brad Brownell, Clemson has built a veteran-led squad capable of making a deep postseason run. Senior guard Chase Hunter continues to climb the program’s all-time scoring list, now sitting at sixth with 1,720 career points. Jaeden Zackery has provided a major boost in his first season with the Tigers, and Viktor Lakhin’s presence in the paint has given Clemson a crucial inside advantage.
The Tigers have also thrived on the road, finishing ACC play with a school-record nine wins away from home. That battle-tested experience will be key as they prepare for both the ACC and NCAA Tournaments.
With just one regular-season game remaining, Clemson will celebrate Senior Night against Virginia Tech before shifting focus to the postseason. The Tigers are already a lock for the NCAA Tournament, but a strong showing in the ACC Tournament could push them even higher in the bracket, potentially securing a top-three seed.
As March Madness approaches, Clemson is playing its best basketball at the right time. With momentum, depth, and veteran leadership, the Tigers are in prime position to make a serious run in both the ACC Tournament and beyond.
