Brad Brownell's Clemson men's basketball team started the season scorching, but the Tigers have cooled down in recent weeks.
A cold run that saw them lose three of their past four games dropped the Tigers from the rankings in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Tigers fell from 22nd place a week after an 87-72 loss to Virginia Tech and an 89-78 win over Boston College.
Although the Tigers are no longer ranked in the coaches poll, they still receive votes (39 votes). The Tigers have two chances to get back into the rankings this week as they play Georgia Tech on Tuesday and travel to Florida State to face the Seminoles on Saturday.
