How Clemson basketball's loss vs Louisville in ACC tournament impacts March Madness predictions
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Clemson basketball's focus is on the NCAA tournament after Friday's loss. The three-seeded Tigers fell to No. 2 Louisville, losing 76-73 in the ACC tournament semifinals at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. They went on a late-game 10-2 run but fell short after guard Chase Hunter missed two game-tying baskets. The Cardinals will face No. 1 Duke in the ACC championship on Saturday (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN2). Despite the loss, Clemson will make March Madness, too, entering Friday's game as a NCAA tournament lock, according to projections. There is only one day until the March Madness bracket is finalized on Selection Sunday (March 16), so here's a look at how Friday's loss could affect Clemson's seeding. Clemson was handed its third Quadrant 1 loss in falling to Louisville. The neutral-game defeat will hurt Clemson's résumé a bit, but it will still land as a No. 4 or 5 seed. It entered Friday's game on a nine-game win streak and defeated SMU in the conference tournament quarterfinals. MORE: Clemson basketball's Dillon Hunter is out indefinitely with broken right hand Clemson is 5-3 in Quad 1 games. It has wins against Duke, Kentucky, Pittsburgh and SMU (twice) and losses to Boise State and Louisville (twice). It is 14-1 in Quad 3 and 4 games. Clemson's success in 2024-25, which includes setting a program record for total wins and conference victories, has cemented it as a high seed in March Madness.

Hunter helps No. 23 Clemson rout Florida State 72-46
The AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! Get the poll delivered straight to your inbox with AP Top 25 Poll Alerts. Sign up here. TALLAHASSE, Fla. (AP) — Dillon Hunter scored a career-best 17 points as No. 23 Clemson jumped out to a big lead and put away Florida State 72-46 on Saturday. Ian Schieffelin had 14 points and 12 rebounds as Clemson (21-5, 13-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) won its third straight game. Clemson has won six straight in the series with Florida State. Jamir Watkins scored 12 points for Florida State (15-10, 6-8). But the Tigers held the Seminoles well below their season-low point total, with the previous low (57) coming at Clemson in January. Clemson did it in part by limiting Florida State's Malique Ewin, who has nine double-doubles this season, to six points and six rebounds. Hunter shot 7 of 11 from the floor for Clemson, which shot 29 of 61 (47.5%) from the floor. Takeaways Clemson: The Tigers outclassed Florida State in every way, leading by as many as 27 points in the second half and shooting 5 of 11 from 3-point range after the break to cruise to a win. Florida State: The Seminoles lacked energy from the start, shot just 34 percent from the floor (18 of 53) and still have not defeated a top 25 team in 2024-25. Key moment Clemson used an early 10-0 run to separate, leading Florida State 22-7 with 10:30 to halftime and were never threatened. Key stat Clemson had 11 offensive rebounds, which led to 23 second-chance points. Up next Clemson has a bye and will play at SMU on Feb. 22; Florida State plays host to Miami on Wednesday. ___
