Social media reacts: Clemson upsets No.23 Alabama; hot start to the season continues
Clemson basketball has been on a roll to start this season, the best start of Tigers’ head coach Brad Brownell’s career with the team.
Their latest win was a big one, taking down No.23 Alabama 85-77 Tuesday in the ACC/SEC Challenge. Clemson (6-0) remained undefeated with the win and could be on their way to a ranking.
“Man, I am proud of our team,” said Brownell. “What a terrific win. Different guys throughout the game. Chase had an awful game for a while, and then, wow. Big shots at the end.”
Clemson basketball is trending in the right direction, and a win like this gets people talking. Here is a look at how Twitter/X reacted to the Tigers’ win over the Crimson Tide.
Clemson is the last undefeated men's basketball team in the ACC (6-0). 3-0 at home and 3-0 away from home.

Joseph Girard III (@JG3_____) passed former teammate Buddy Boeheim on the ACC's career 3-pointers list against Alcorn State.
Last night? He made four and passed Jay Williams (Duke) who was calling the game courtside for ESPN!

Clemson and Alabama fans both trying to get the College Football Playoff ranking show off of the TV so they can watch basketball instead. Oh how the times have changed.

Alabama is going to win a lot of basketball games this season, and not many teams are going to come to Tuscaloosa and bully them the way Clemson just did. What a result for Brad Brownell and the Tigers.

Thanks to last night's win over Alabama, Clemson men's basketball improved to 6-0 on the young season. The Tigers' 6-0 start is the program's best under Brad Brownell and best since the 2008-'09 team started that year 16-0

The ACC's most underrated backcourt is Clemson's duo of Chase Hunter and Joe Girard. A terrific performance in a road win at Alabama. Tigers are officially on the national radar. 6-0 for the first time since 2008-09.

Ok, is the world ending because there’s no way Clemson basketball is actually good, and the football team is actually trying in the transfer portal! 😳
