Tigers destroy Ospreys, 76-36




Clemson moved to 11-0 in workman-like fashion behind Trevor Booker's 16 points and 10 rebounds on Tuesday.

Yet you still have to wonder about the overall depth of this team beyond 8 or maybe 9 players (if Jerai Grant is contributing that night). Tanner Smith and Andre Young appear to be able to contribute off the bench, but Bobo Baciu appears to be a longer term project and Brian Narcisse only saw 3 minutes of action in a 40 point rout.

Secondarily, free throws are cropping up as an issue again. The Tigers were 12-19 (63%) for the game. I realize two of those misses were by seldom used Zach Anderson, but when your point guards combine to go 4-8, you have to be a little concerned.

Clemson plays at Miami (7-2) on Sunday in the ACC opener for both teams.
