Clemson basketball has solid footing in the NCAA Tournament picture as conference play continues in January.
The Tigers have quality wins against Kentucky and Penn State and no losses outside of Quadrant 2.
ACC play will provide few resume boosters until February, though Clemson does have Quad 1 opportunities at Pitt and Louisville over the next two weeks.

A full explanation of the NET rankings can be found here, but the important thing to understand (that we know about since the NET formula is not public) is the meaning of the quadrants. You’ll hear “Quad 1 opponent” or some form of it a lot between now and Selection Sunday, and the quadrants are broken down as follows.
- Quadrant 1: Home Ranked No. 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75
- Quadrant 2: Home Ranked No. 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135
