Not many programs in college hoops have been trending up the way Clemson basketball has over the past couple of years. The Tigers went from the Elite Eight in 2023-24 to a 27-7 season in 2024-25 that unfortunately ended far earlier than expected thanks to Will Wade and McNeese.

Brad Brownell led the Tigers to an incredible regular season which resulted in a second-place finish in the ACC standings behind powerhouse Duke.

It's only June, but it looks like Clemson football may already have its 2025 mantra. Thanks to Wade Woodaz and Ben Boulware, it looks like Clemson may have one of the coolest mantras ahead of the 2025 season and it should scare the heck out of opponents.
