Earlier this week, CBS Sports college basketball expert Gary Parrish made his ACC predictions for the season ahead. To no real surprise, Parrish projects Duke and freshman phenom Cooper Flagg to finish first in the ACC with North Carolina second.

Parrish forecasts Clemson to finish fourth in the ACC behind Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest.

Coach Brad Brownell’s team finished tied for fifth in the final ACC regular-season standings at 11-9 in conference play. They made the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed.

The Tigers then reeled off three straight wins against New Mexico, No. 3 seed Baylor and No. 2 seed Arizona before falling 89-82 to Alabama in the Elite Eight in Los Angeles.

Clemson opens the regular season at Littlejohn Coliseum against Charleston Southern on Nov. 4. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET.
