New-look Clemson Basketball Team Shines in Season Opener
The Clemson Tigers introduced their largest group of transfers under coach Brad Brownell in their 2025-26 season opener. Out of the 12 players used in Monday’s game, only one had played for the Tigers last year. This marked a significant transition for Clemson’s men’s basketball program.
Dominant Victory Over New Hampshire
The Tigers dominated New Hampshire with an 88-38 win at Littlejohn Coliseum. Although New Hampshire struggled last season with an 8-24 record and ranked near the bottom nationally, Clemson’s talent advantage was clear.
“We’ve still got to figure everybody out,” Brownell said after the game.
The 50-point blowout not only satisfied expectations but also surpassed the massive 41.5-point betting spread.
Key Player Debuts and Transfers
- Transfers making their Clemson debuts: Nick Davidson (Nevada), Jake Wahlin (Utah), Carter Welling (Utah Valley State), Jestin Porter (MTSU), and Butta Johnson (UAB).
- Former Clemson player RJ Godfrey, who transferred to Georgia for a season, returned to the team.
- Freshman additions included true freshmen Zac Foster, Chase Thompson, Trent Steinhour, and redshirt freshmen Ace Buckner and Dallas Thomas.
With 76% of the roster made up of new players, these game minutes were vital for team chemistry and development.
Author's summary: Clemson’s revamped basketball team showcased strong potential in a commanding season opener, highlighting the importance of integrating new transfers and freshmen early.
