The Clemson basketball team has knocked off three top-25 teams in Louisville, Duke, and Miami the past three games and, as a result, they have put themselves in position to make a NCAA Tournament run.
Prior to the Miami game, ESPN Bracketologist released his first teams out and he had the Tigers as one of them:
FIRST OUT: SHall, StJoes, UTA, Stanford. NEXT OUT: Bama, Clem, Marq, ArizSt. FOUR MORE: Wake, LSU, Vandy, BYU.

This means Clemson basketball would have been the sixth team out, according to Lunardi.
