Clemson earns No. 4 seed, bye to the quarterfinals at the ACC Tournament
Brad Brownell and the men’s basketball team are officially slotted as the No. 4 seed at next week’s ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Tigers will receive a double-bye into the quarterfinals and will play on Thursday, March 8 at 2 p.m. against either No. 5 NC State or the winner of the first round matchup between No. 13 Georgia Tech and No. 12 Boston College.
Clemson (22-8, 11-7) was on the verge of setting an all-time wins mark in conference play, but yesterday's loss at Syracuse kept the Tigers from establishing a new mark.
However, Clemson's 11 regular season conference wins did tie the 1951-1952 Clemson team for the most in program history. That squad won 11 games in the Southern Conference and was coached by former Clemson star Banks McFadden.
Take a look at the entire ACC Tournament schedule and pairings below.
