As ACC play heats up, the conference has faced its share of challenges, but Clemson continues to demand respect on the national stage. According to ESPN’s latest Bracketology from Joe Lunardi, the Tigers are firmly in the NCAA Tournament picture, earning a coveted No. 8 seed in the South Region.
Clemson is one of just five ACC teams projected to make the cut for the 2025 tournament, and their draw is anything but easy. The Tigers are slated to face off against Ohio State in the first round, with a potential showdown against the No. 1 overall seed, Auburn, waiting in the wings.
It’s a daunting road ahead, but Clemson has already proven it can rise to the occasion. In the ACC-SEC Challenge, the Tigers and Duke were the only teams from the conference to secure wins, with Clemson stunning Auburn and Duke taking down Kentucky. Could the Tigers pull off another surprise in March?
With a strong seed and the experience to back it up, Clemson’s March Madness journey is shaping up to be one worth watching.
