ACC commissioner is here for Clemson's NCAA Tournament opener against Iowa in Tampa. Following his tradition of matching his tie to the ACC team he's representing/supporting, Phillips is going with an orange and white diagonal striped tie tonight

Clemson men’s basketball players getting some final shots up in Tampa. Tip-off against Iowa in the NCAA Tournament in about 15 minutes

Not often freshmen start for Brad Brownell, but Clemson obviously likes what it's getting from Buckner, a redshirt freshman. Tonight will be his third straight start after starting just 1 of Clemson's first 32 games. G Jestin Porter has embraced his new bench role, too

Clemson men's basketball starters vs. Iowa in the NCAA Tournament tonight: G Dillon Hunter, G Ace Buckner, G Butta Johnson, F Jake Wahlin and F RJ Godfrey. Same lineup Tigers rolled with vs. Duke last week following F Carter Welling's season-ending torn ACL injury

Clemson men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell arrives for the team’s 2026 NCAA Tournament opener. He’s 6-5 all-time in the tournament w/ Tigers (including a First Four game) and has won at least one NCAA game in 3 of 5 previous appearances

The Clemson men’s basketball team arrives at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa … No. 8 Tigers are scheduled to tip off against No. 9 Iowa in their NCAA Tournament opener around 6:50 pm on TNT

Clemson WBB coach Shawn Poppie: “Candidly, you look at the roster of Southern Cal, and we’re delusional thinking we should win, right? All them McDonald’s All-Americans, all the NIL money ... But there’s no one in (our) locker room who doesn’t believe we’re going to win tomorrow”

@wajones99 Thanks for reading and sharing, Tony. Was happy to share their story

This is a great read...

Last one from Shawn Poppie who said Clemson probably a year or 2 ahead of schedule and what it means for the future of program. "We don’t have to sell being an NCAA Tournament team. We are here. Because we are here, let’s continue to compete and fight and see how long we stay."

From @dwayne_mclemore: Sights and sounds from Clemson WBB’s NCAA Tournament practice in Columbia SC today. Tigers play Southern Cal in an 8/9 game tomorrow afternoon. It’ll be their first NCAAT game since 2019

Poppie: "When you look at the roster of Southern Cal (with McDonalds All-Americans) we'd be delusional to believe we can win tomorrow. But nobody in that (our) locker room doesn't believe we can win tomorrow."

Clemson coach Shawn Poppie "We are two hours from home with hope of fans coming here to travel."

Clemson will compete in a 2027 event in Greenville that includes some SEC gymnastics powers: Georgia, Florida, LSU, and Oklahoma, plus UCLA, Utah, and UNC.

On April 2, Nick and Blake Davidson committed to Clemson. The following night, their dad Kirk died unexpectedly after a heart attack. He was 53. Sincerely appreciate Nick and Blake's willingness to talk about their dad and Clemson's support of them here: thestate.com/sports/college…

Per Clemson football, the exact scoring and roster formats for next Saturday's spring game at Memorial Stadium are still TBA ... Game will be free to attend to for fans but will NOT be televised (the team will produce a one-hour spring football special for ACCN later on)

North Carolina is now 48-2 when leading by 10+ at halftime in the NCAA Tournament. Both losses were under Hubert Davis. 2022 National Title vs Kansas 2026 Rd of 64 vs VCU
