Having been all but a no-show at Duke, on Sunday, Jan. 3, the 24th ranked Clemson Tigers returned to action six days later obviously hoping to improve in their overall play.
Scoring only 12 points in the first half versus the Blue Devils, during a double-digit loss in Durham, N.C., the Tigers, to a man apparently wanted nothing more than a leave no doubt win over their next opponent, the Boston College (BC) Eagles.

And that Oliver Purnell’s charges got, on the heels of a 16 point (72-56) rout of BC Sat. (Jan 9), at Littlejohn Coliseum.
En route to clipping the wings of Al Skinner’s  Eagles, in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) outing, the Tigers were led by the trio of Trevor Booker, Demontez Stitt and Tanner Smith. All but having his way down low, Booker led all scorers with his 19 point contribution. Stitt added 15 and Smith chipped in 12.

With the win over BC, Clemson upped its mark to 13-3, 1-1 ACC while Boston College left the Foothills of South Carolina with a 10-6, 1-1 worksheet.
