CLEMSON ASKS NCAA TO MOVE BIG DANCE TO DECEMBER

TUESDAY NIGHT HOOP

No. 25 CLEMSON 76, North Florida (Ospreys, 13,934 students, Jacksonville, FL) 36 - Trevor Booker had 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots, and No. 25 Clemson moved to 11-0 for the third time in four seasons with a 76-36 victory over North Florida on Tuesday night.


The Tigers are 49-0 under coach Oliver Purnell over the past four seasons in games played before Dec. 22.

Clemson (11-0) didn't open this game like an undefeated team, struggling with winless North Florida (0-8) for a good part of the opening half.

FLORIDA STATE 69, Tennessee Tech (Golden Eagles, 8,060 students, Cookeville, TN) 55 - Toney Douglas scored 28 points and Ryan Reid's three-point play broke open a tie game as Florida State held off Tennessee Tech 69-59 on Tuesday night.

Reid's three-point play with 3:59 left broke a 55-55 deadlock as the Seminoles closed the game with a 14-5 run to improve to 10-1, equaling the best start in school history.
