01/07/2009 - Clemson, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Booker scored 19 points and the 12th- ranked Clemson Tigers remained undefeated by surviving a pesky Alabama squad, 66-59.
K.C. Rivers and Terrence Oglesby netted 12 points each for the Tigers (15-0), who are looking to equal their 17-0 start from two years prior when they were the last unbeaten team to fall.
It won't be an easy feat to duplicate as a duo of tough ACC foes are next on the schedule with home dates against NC State and No. 4 Wake Forest followed by a trip to Chapel Hill to face third-ranked North Carolina.
The Tigers shot only 34.5 percent from the floor in finishing the first half with a narrow four-point edge but improved to 44.8 percent over the final 20 minutes and held 'Bama to 29.4 percent shooting in that same stretch to come away with the victory.
Alonzo Gee and Senario Hillman logged 12 points apiece for the Crimson Tide (10-4), who had a five-game win streak halted in playing their first true road game this season. Ronald Steele chipped in 10 points while JaMychal Green had seven points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
A Gee layup early in the second half gave 'Bama the lead and the teams played it close until the Tigers exploded for a 17-1 run with Andre Young's triple capping the surge for a 58-43 lead with just under six minutes to play.
The Tide came back, though, with a 9-2 spurt with Steele's layup pulling the visitors to within six with 30 seconds left. Booker followed by hitting just 1-of-2 at the line but Steele misfired on a three and Booker made both of his next two attempts from the stripe to seal the win.
The visitors jumped out to a 12-5 lead in the early going but Clemson used a 20-8 run through the middle stages of the half to go up by five, 25-20, with 6 1/2 minutes left.
The Tigers extended their lead to six on a slam from Demontez Stitt later in the frame before a jumper by Demetrius Jemison cut the Tide's deficit to 33-29 at the break.
