One week after entering the AP Top 25 men's basketball poll for the first time this season, the Clemson Tigers are moving up in the rankings.
After winning their ninth straight game in a 69-59 victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum, the Tigers (16-3 overall, 6-0 ACC) rose four spots to No. 18 in Monday's new AP poll.

Clemson also climbed to No. 18 in Monday's new USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
In the win over Miami, the Tigers got 18 points from Carter Welling and 11 from guard Jestin Porter. RJ Godfrey added 10 points for Clemson, which got out to an 8-0 lead and never trailed, holding Miami to its fewest points of the season.
Clemson, which defeated Boston College, 74-50, last week at Littlejohn Coliseum behind 25 points from Nick Davidson, will close out a three-game home stand Tuesday when rival NC State (12-6, 3-2) visits the Upstate.
The Arizona Wildcats (18-0) remained No. 1 in the AP poll for the seventh consecutive week.
