As March approaches and regular season opportunities to improve their resume dwindle, we take a look at the remaining regular season games and current odds for the Tigers to make it to the second weekend (and beyond) of the NCAA Tournament.

Win Probabilities for Remaining Games

ESPN has assigned the following win probabilities to Clemson's remaining regular season games:

Date Opponent Location Win Probability
2/21 Virginia Tech Blacksburg, Va 43.6
2/24 Georgia Tech Clemson 93.8
2/28 Florida State Clemson 73.3
3/3 Syracuse Syracuse, NY 52.9

 

Tournament Odds

The resume looks good and the Tigers appear to be a lock for the Big Dance as Joe Lunardi has Clemson as a 3 seed in the latest edition of bracketology

So what are the odds once they get there?  Per ESPN (based on Lunardi's bracketology) here are Clemson's odds:

Make Sweet 16 Make Final Four Win Tournament
37.9% 6.8% 0.8%
1 in 2.6 1 in 14.7 1 in 125

These numbers give the Tigers a decent shot at the Sweet 16 and the second weekend of the tournament, which would make the season a huge success.

The odds off getting beyond the Sweet 16 are long, but we've seen several teams make  unexpected runs in March over the last few years.
