The Tigers then traveled to Florida to participate in the Emerald Coast Classic, where they won their opening game against UAB but fell in the championship game to twenty-third ranked Alabama 73–39.

They started 2025 with back-to-back ACC victories, including an upset of twentieth-ranked California. They could not carry that momentum as the Tigers lost their next four straight games. The run included a nine point loss to third ranked Notre Dame and a loss to seventeenth ranked Georgia Tech. The Tigers went 4–3 in their next seven games, defeating Miami, Syracuse, SMU, and getting revenge on now nineteenth ranked Georgia Tech. They lost to Boston College, tenth-ranked Duke, and thirteenth-ranked North Carolina, by just two points. They ended the season with three straight losses, against Pittsburgh, twenty-fifth ranked Louisville, and Virginia Tech.
