Despite having a difficult start to the season, Clingan used his 7-foot-7 wingspan to his advantage in the closing minutes of play to play some of his greatest basketball. He averaged 2.5 blocked shots per game.

Clingan’s overall stats from the regular season were better in the NCAA Tournament, as he averaged 15.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game. He had the most blocks in the tournament—19—among players since 2015–2016.
