The 2024-25 season was one for the Clemson record books. A school-best 27 wins. It was a campaign that had all the makings of a deep March run.

And then, in a stunning flash, it was over. A No. 5 seed, the Tigers were unceremoniously bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by McNeese State, a bitter end to an otherwise magical year.

Tonight, the road to redemption begins.

The Clemson Tigers, led by 16-year head coach Brad Brownell, tip off their 2025-26 season at home in Littlejohn Coliseum, eager to erase the bad taste of last season's shocking exit. While unranked in the preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, this is a program that still has the DNA of the squad that made a magical Elite Eight run just two seasons ago.

Their first opponent is the New Hampshire Wildcats, a team looking to rebound from an 8-24 campaign.

Here’s everything you need to know to catch the start of the Tigers' new journey.
