Clemson Basketball Opens 2025-26 Season Against New Hampshire

Clemson’s Recent Success
Last season, Clemson set program records with 26 regular-season wins and 18 ACC victories. Over the past three years, the Tigers have secured a 74-30 record, the best three-year stretch in school history, ranking second only to Duke in the ACC.
New Hampshire’s Struggles
The Wildcats enter this season after their worst performance in six years, finishing with an 8-24 overall record and 6-10 in the America East Conference. Clemson aims to take advantage of this contrast to start strong.
Roster Changes for Clemson
The Tigers have experienced a full roster turnover since last March’s NCAA Tournament appearance. Key players, including All-ACC selections Chase Hunter and Ian Schieffelin, have left the team. Hunter signed with the New Orleans Pelicans after averaging 16 points per game.
