COLOMBIA – Clemson resumed his place in the Associated Press Top 25 men’s basketball poll on Monday after a 2-0 week.
The Tigers (8-1, 2-1 ACC) are tied with Virginia Tech in 19th place in the new vote, after winning then-No. 18 Florida State and Miami last week. Clemson was in 24th place for three weeks, but left the poll after coincidentally losing to Virginia Tech.
Clemson hosts NC State on Tuesday and travels to North Carolina on Saturday. The Tigers broke their 59-game losing streak at Chapel Hill last year and will face an unclassified team from Tar Heels, who is 1-2 at ACC.
