Where Clemson landed in NET rankings ahead of March Madness Selection Sunday

Clemson holds a No. 22 NET ranking as they await their NCAA Tournament seeding following a 27-6 overall record and an 18-2 finish in the ACC.

The Tigers split their two games in the ACC Tournament, defeating SMU before falling in a 76-73 heartbreaker to Louisville. Clemson nearly erased a 15-point second-half deficit and had a chance to tie or win in the final seconds, but a controversial no-call on Chase Hunter’s drive sealed their fate.

Against Quad 1 opponents, Clemson finished 5-3, picking up key wins over Kentucky, Duke, Pitt, and SMU. Their losses in this tier came against Boise State and Louisville, with the Cardinals handing them their most recent defeat in the conference tournament.

The Tigers compiled an 8-2 record in Quad 2 games, earning victories over North Carolina, Wake Forest, and Virginia. Their two losses in this category came against Memphis and South Carolina.

Clemson went 8-1 in Quad 3 matchups, with their only setback coming against Georgia Tech. In Quad 4 play, they finished a perfect 5-0, handling business in lower-tier games.

Despite the tough exit in Charlotte, Clemson remains in strong position for a favorable seed in the NCAA Tournament, with a resume that includes multiple high-quality wins and few bad losses.
