Do-it-all Booker leads Tigers

Trevor Booker had 23 points, 6 rebounds, 6 blocked shots, 3 steals and an assist to lead Clemson over N.C. State by a score of 63-51.

Free throw shooting remains iffy, as the Tigers hit 13-20 (65%) from the line.

The defense rests

The Florida Gators once again showed that a top 10 defense, not a point-a-minute offense, is the main ingredient to winning the national championship.

Tigers hold off Alabama, remain unbeaten

Clemson held off Alabama 66-59 on Tuesday night to move to 15-0. The Tigers got 19 points from Trevor Booker and 12 each from K.C. Rivers and Terrance Oglesby.

Once again, however, the Tigers saw a large lead (15 points) almost completely disappear with bad foul shooting and unforced turnovers.

After hitting 9 of their first 11 free throws the Tigers then went through a 2 for 9 stretch that let Alabama back in the game and finished the night 13 for 22 (59.1%) from the line.

The Tigers return to ACC play by hosting N.C. State (9-3) on Saturday.

Tigers land 4 star DE

Clemson reeled in it's 2nd 4 Star player in three days on Monday, when 6'4, 260 lb DE Leon Mackey gave the Tigers his commitment.

Mackey hopes to enroll on January 17th, provided he is cleared by the NCAA.

4 Star WR selects Clemson

Dabo Swinney picked up his second commitment during the USA Army All-Star game on Saturday as Bryce McNeal selected the Tigers over Oregon.

McNeal is the 14th highest rated WR by Rivals.com and 27th ranked WR by Scout.com.

Tigers remain unbeaten

Clemson beat East Carolina 79-66 on Saturday to move to 14-0. Jerai Grant came up big off the bench again with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocked shots in 18 minutes of action. K.C. Rivers led the Tigers with 18 points.

Clemson hosts Alabama (10-3) on Tuesday.

Huskers edge Tigers

Nebraska rallied in the second half to beat Clemson 26-21. The QB play for Clemson was atrocious, not to mention an idiotic personal foul by C.J. Spiller. The defense definitely kept the Tigers in this game as the O was putrid.

Lots O' Work to do before next season.
