1/12/08 - Don't let Trevor Booker's 6-foot-7, 240-pound body fool you. He's an excellent outside shooter, teammate Terrence Oglesby says. Oglesby's not so bad from behind the arc either. Booker's 3-pointer at the end of regulation was one of the Tigers' two buzzer-beating baskets. Then Oglesby put the game away with three 3-pointers in the second overtime of 18th-ranked Clemson's 97-85 win over Florida State on Saturday night. "He's been knocking down shots," Oglesby said.

Rivers Scores 24 to Lead No. 18 Clemson Past Rival South Carolina
12/01/07 - K.C. Rivers has seen big leads for Clemson disappear in the past couple of seasons. He wasn't about to let it happen again against the No. 18 Tigers' bitter in-state rival.
