Clemson unranked in the latest AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll
The Clemson men’s basketball team has slowed down of late and the Tigers have fallen down the rankings as a result.
After falling out of the AP Top 25 Poll last week following a three game skid, the Tigers remain outside the top 25 once again in the latest update. This update, however, Clemson is no longer receiving votes.
Their 93-90 defeat in double overtime against Georgia Tech was undoubtedly a disappointing outcome, and there’s no escaping that fact. Despite holding a substantial lead as the game approached its conclusion, the Tigers found themselves overpowered in the final minutes of regulation, resulting in the game extending to overtime. Unfortunately, they couldn’t bounce back and ultimately succumbed in the second overtime period.
While the loss to Tech left a bitter taste, their subsequent triumph against Florida State was excellent. In need of a win, the Tigers delivered, securing a convincing 78-67 victory on the road against the Seminoles. An ACC road victory is always a cause for celebration and a positive turn of events for the team.
