Clemson drops to No. 15 in latest AP poll, No. 17 in the Coaches
Clemson basketball fell a few spots to No. 15 in the latest AP and No. 17 in the Coaches polls that were released Monday afternoon.
The Tigers went 0-2 last week, losing two close games to Florida State on the road and Duke at home on Sunday.
Florida State found itself back in the rankings at No. 25 after its two-point overtime victory against Clemson on Valentine's night.
The Blue Devils jumped from No. 12 to No. 5 in the country after their win at Clemson, priming for a run at a No. 1 seed. Another notable team is North Carolina, which also jumped four spots to No. 10.
Virginia (No. 1), Duke, North Carolina, Clemson, and Florida State round out the ACC in the latest AP poll. The Tigers are 2-3 against teams currently ranked in the top 25.
Clemson goes on the road to play Virginia Tech on Wednesday night looking to avoid a three-game skid.
The Tigers are 20-6, 9-5 in the ACC.
