2nd half lifts Tigers


After 20 minutes of so-so play the Tigers picked it up a few notches and showed what this team can do. Trevor Booker took the game over in one stretch with a left handed monster dunk off a rebound, a three pointer, 2 beautiful assists that led to easy baskets, a blocked shot and a steal. For the night Booker finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots.

Five other Tigers hit double figures as Demontez Stitt hit a couple of big three pointers in the first half. David Potter, Tanner Smith and Andre Young were all 2/3 on three pointers off the bench for Clemson and Terrance Oglesby led the Tigers with 6 assists.

There were lapses (like the first 20 minutes) that still are concerning. Even when the Tigers pulled out to a comfortable lead Maryland was getting easy baskets in transition. Something to keep an eye on.
