Clemson’s Recent Success

Over the past three seasons, Clemson has emerged as one of the ACC’s most reliable programs. Their 74-30 record in this period ranks second only to Duke and represents the most successful three-year stretch in school history.

New Hampshire’s Challenging Season

In contrast, the Wildcats are coming off their worst season in six years, finishing 8-24 overall and 6-10 in the America East Conference. Clemson aims to take advantage of this and start the new season strong.

First Meeting Between Teams

Monday’s game will be the first-ever matchup between Clemson and New Hampshire, adding intrigue to the season opener.

Hunter signed with the New Orleans Pelicans after averaging 16 points last season.

The Tigers will have to rebuild but are determined to maintain their recent level of success.
