CLEMSON, S.C. - Clemson's Head Coach Brad Brownell has been making waves in the college basketball scene, earning a spot on the 2026 Werner Ladder Naismith Men's College Coach of the Year Watch List. Now in his 16th season, Brownell has steered the Tigers to an impressive 20-7 overall record, with a solid 10-4 in the ACC.
Under Brownell's leadership, Clemson has been on a remarkable run, racking up 94 wins over the past four seasons. This stretch includes two NCAA Tournament appearances and a memorable trip to the Elite Eight. With a 53-21 record in the ACC during this period, Clemson trails only Duke in conference victories.
Breaking records is becoming a habit for the Tigers. Their 94-37 record over the last four years sets a new high for Clemson, surpassing the previous best of 93-41 from 2006-2010. This milestone was achieved with a road victory over California on February 7th, marking just the second time in school history that Clemson has won 20 or more games in four consecutive seasons.
Clemson's prowess on the road has been particularly noteworthy. They had a 14-game ACC road winning streak, tied for the second-longest in conference history, which was only recently snapped by No.
4 Duke. Additionally, the Tigers boast an 8-1 record against the top 12 winningest programs in college basketball since last season.
This season, Clemson achieved a rare feat by sweeping its West Coast road trip with victories over Stanford and California, becoming just the third ACC team to do so. The Tigers also clinched the Charleston Classic title in November, securing their third consecutive regular season championship with wins over West Virginia and Georgia.
January was a standout month for Clemson, as they posted a 7-1 record. This .875 win percentage ties for the best January performance since 1935, marking only the second time since 1951 that they've lost just one game in the month.
Clemson is set to host Florida State on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 12 p.m. on The CW. With their current momentum, the Tigers are poised to continue their impressive run under Brownell's expert guidance.
