The Clemson Tigers Men's Basketball team has earned a spot just outside the top 10 at No. 11 in this week's AP College Basketball Top 25 poll, after their impressive 71-58 comeback win over Virginia. The victory marked a strong performance on both ends of the court, with standout contributions from key players. Ian Schieffelin had a memorable birthday, leading the Tigers with a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds. Schieffelin's performance was crucial in securing the win, showcasing his ability to dominate both offensively and on the boards.


Alongside Schieffelin, Viktor Lakhin and Jaeden Zackery were instrumental in the victory. Lakhin contributed 14 points, providing the Tigers with a reliable scoring option, while Zackery added 12 points to further bolster the team's offensive effort. The Tigers’ depth and balance were evident in their commanding win, and they continue to build momentum as they near the end of the regular season.


Looking ahead, Clemson will travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, for a matchup against the Boston College Eagles on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. After their road trip, Clemson will return home for their final regular-season game on Saturday, where they will face the Virginia Tech Hokies at 6:00 p.m. for Senior Night.


As they wrap up the regular season, all eyes will be on Clemson to see how they perform in their remaining games and whether they can carry their momentum into the postseason.
