TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Number 19 Clemson got 18 points each
from Trevor Booker and James Mays to beat Alabama 87-61 on Tuesday.
It was the Crimson Tide's worst home loss in seven years. The
Tigers have now won seven of their last eight against Southeastern
Conference teams.
Clemson led by just five at half, but went on a 17-4 run with
about ten minutes to go that included two easy baskets off stolen
inbounds passes. The Tigers led by as many as 31 points late.
Terrence Oglesby hit five three-pointers to finish with 17
points, while K.C. Rivers added 15 points.
Alonzo Gee led Alabama with 17 points, while Tide star Richard
Hendrix had 14 points and seven rebounds, well below his season
averages.
The Tigers open their Atlantic Coast Conference season Sunday by
hosting Number One North Carolina.
