				<description><![CDATA[CLEMSON, South Carolina (Ticker) -- For the second time in three
seasons, Clemson finished its non-conference schedule without a 
loss.

Trevor Booker scored 19 points and K.C. Rivers added 12 and nine
rebounds as 11th-ranked Clemson used a big run midway through 
the second half to stay unbeaten with a 66-59 victory over 
Alabama on Tuesday.

Terrence Oglesby added 12 points for the Tigers (15-0), who are 
one of three unbeaten teams left in Division I.  Top-ranked 
Pittsburgh (14-0) and No. 4 Wake Forest (13-0) are the others 
after Illinois State lost, 56-52, at Bradley earlier on Tuesday.

"It's a heck of a accomplishment to go through non-conference 
season unbeaten, and I congratulate our guys on that," Clemson 
coach Oliver Purnell told The State.  "But we have to recognize 
we have a lot of work to do and a lot of that showed up 
(tonight).

"There are a lot of things you normally need to do well, yet we 
won in a fairly convincing way against a team that came in 
playing well."

The Tigers, who matched their best start in school history at 
17-0 during the 2006-07 campaign, host North Carolina State in 
their Atlantic Coast Conference opener on Saturday.

Clemson trailed, 42-41, less than six minutes into the second 
half before using a 14-0 run that saw Alabama go scoreless for 
just under eight minutes, giving the Tigers a 55-42 lead with 
7:02 remaining.  Freshman Andre Young and Oglesby each made a 
3-pointer during the run.

"They're a team that has that stretch, that spurt at different 
times, and we gave them one in the second half," Alabama coach 
Mark Gottfried told the newspaper.  "They're a terrific team and
very deserving of being a Top-10 team in the country."

Freshman Andrew Steele's layup cut the Crimson Tide deficit to 
63-57 with 33 seconds to play but Booker made 3-of-4 free throws
down the stretch to help seal the victory.

It was the Tigers' 15th straight home win.

Alabama committed 19 turnovers for the game and shot just 29 
percent (10-of-34), including 1-of-11 from the arc in the second
half.

The Crimson Tide had started off well as Ronald Steele made his 
first three shots and Alabama jumped out to a 12-5 lead before 
Clemson got back into the game.

Booker scored the first five points as the Tigers used an 11-0 
burst to take a 28-20 lead with 5:14 left and Clemson held a 
33-29 edge at the break.

"We're unbeaten and have played some pretty good competition," 
Booker told The State.  "We can play better so that's scary.  
We've got some big games coming up, so we're looking forward to 
proving we're a Top-10 team."

Both teams exchanged baskets to open the second half that saw 
seven lead changes in the first 5:41 of the session before 
Clemson took control.

Alonzo Gee and Senario Hillman each scored 12 points for Alabama
(10-4), which had its five-game winning streak snapped.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Alabama (10-3) at No. 16 Clemson (14-0) 9:00 p.m. EST

CLEMSON, South Carolina (Ticker) -- While the list of unbeaten 
teams has been shrinking rapidly over the last week, 16th-ranked
Clemson has been making it look easy while keeping its spotless 
record intact.

Things may get a bit more difficult when the Tigers host Alabama
on Tuesday.

Clemson is one of four teams that remain perfect this season, 
joining Pittsburgh, Wake Forest and Illinois State.

The Tigers have won five straight games by double digits, 
including a 79-66 victory over East Carolina on Saturday.  K.C. 
Rivers led the way with 18 points while Jerai Grant added 14 off
the bench.

While Rivers is the team's top scorer at 15.3 points per game, 
Trevor Booker and Terrence Oglesby are averaging 14.6 and 13.6 
respectively.

Alabama has won five straight since an 86-78 loss to Texas A&M 
on December 13, including an 88-77 win over another Atlantic 
Coast Conference foe, Georgia Tech, on Saturday.

Ronald Steele recorded his first double-double of the season 
with 23 points and 10 assists, knocking down 5-of-8 shots from 
beyond the arc.

Senario Hillman was one of four other players in double figures 
with 18 points while Alonzo Gee had 15 points and a season-high 
18 rebounds.]]></description>
