Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024–25 Clemson Tigers men's basketball team will represent Clemson University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tigers will be led by fifteenth-year head coach Brad Brownell and will play their home games at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

After a run to the Elite Eight in the previous season, head coach Brownell signed a five-year contract extension worth a total of $20 million.[1]

Previous season

[edit]
Main article: 2023–24 Clemson Tigers men's basketball team

The Tigers finished the season 24–12 and 11–9 in ACC play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place. As the sixth seed in the ACC tournament, were defeated by Boston College in the Second Round. They earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament and were placed as the sixth-seed in the West region. They defeated eleventh-seed New Mexico in the First Round, third-seed Baylor in the Second Round and second-seed Arizona in the Sweet Sixteen. This advanced Clemson to only their second Elite Eight in program history. In the Elite Eight the Tigers lost in a rematch of an early season game against Alabama 82–89 to end their season. After the season, Ian Schieffelin was named ACC Most Improved Player, becoming the second Clemson player to win the award. PJ Hall was named to the All-ACC First Team.
