The Clemson men’s basketball team will look to keep its perfect record intact Friday night when the Tigers welcome the Georgetown Hoyas to Littlejohn Coliseum for an early-season showdown between two unbeaten programs.
Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m., with the game televised nationally on ESPNU.
Head coach Brad Brownell and the Tigers enter the contest with a 3-0 record after opening the season with victories over Stetson, American and North Dakota.
Friday night’s matchup will provide Clemson with an early test against a Georgetown program that is also off to a 3-0 start under head coach Ed Cooley.
The Hoyas opened their season with an 80-58 victory over Loyola Maryland before knocking off Maryland 86-74. Georgetown then rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit Tuesday night to defeat Delaware State 83-78.
Georgetown trailed 43-33 at halftime against Delaware State before outscoring the Hornets 50-35 in the second half to remain unbeaten.
Friday’s contest will also give Clemson an opportunity to avenge last season’s loss to Georgetown. The Hoyas defeated the Tigers 79-74 in Washington, D.C., and hold a 2-0 advantage in the all-time series.
Clemson is coming off a 2025-26 campaign that saw the Tigers finish 24-11 overall and 12-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The Tigers earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament before falling to Iowa 67-61 in the opening round.
Brownell, now in his 17th season leading Clemson, will look for his team to continue building momentum as the Tigers prepare for a challenging nonconference schedule.
For Georgetown, the matchup represents another opportunity to make a statement against an ACC opponent after already defeating Maryland earlier this season.
Both teams will be looking to establish themselves early, with Clemson hoping its home-court advantage at Littlejohn Coliseum will help the Tigers secure their fourth consecutive victory.
Following Friday night’s contest, Clemson will remain at home to face The Citadel on Monday, November 16, before heading to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, where the Tigers will open tournament play against Ole Miss on November 23.
Once again, Clemson and Georgetown tip off Friday night at 6 p.m. from Littlejohn Coliseum, with television coverage on ESPNU.
