2025 Tournament PreviewClemson quietly played its way to second place in the ACC, just a game behind Duke. The Tigers are one of three teams to beat that historically good Duke squad this season and also scored a big non-conference win against Kentucky. With top-25 rankings in offensive and defensive efficiency (per KenPom), Clemson should be overlooked no longer. An all-upperclassmen rotation is led by sixth-year senior guard Chase Hunter (16.4 ppg) who shoots 41.2 percent on three-pointers, but 6-8 Ian Schieffelin (12.8 ppg, 9.4 rpg) and 6-11 Viktor Lakhin (11.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg) provide plenty of scoring down low. The Tigers slow the pace (327th in KenPom's tempo metric) and are deadly from the perimeter. Seven players have attempted more than 60 three-pointers with all but one shooting at least 35 percent, as Clemson ranks 31st nationally in three-point percentage. That could easily serve as the great equalizer to get the Tigers past the first weekend.
