01/10/2009 - Clemson, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Booker scored 23 points, grabbed six rebounds and blocked six shots, as No. 12 Clemson suffocated North Carolina State, 63-51, to remain one of three unbeaten teams in the nation.
Top-ranked Pittsburgh hosts St. John's on Sunday and Wake Forest puts its perfect record on the line Sunday night against third-ranked North Carolina.
On Saturday, Clemson's (16-0, 2-0 ACC) perfect record took center stage, and its defense shined.
Clemson held the Wolfpack (9-4, 0-1) to 31.5 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers. On the offensive end, the Tigers got nine points and 11 rebounds from K.C. Rivers and seven points and four steals from Tanner Smith.
North Carolina State, which has lost four straight against the Tigers, was paced by Courtney Fells' 10 points and seven rebounds.
The Tigers made just 40 percent of their shots, committed six turnovers and only got to the foul line four times, yet swarmed the Wolfpack on the defensive end and posted a 24-17 lead after 20 minutes of play.
Booker led the Tigers with nine points, but more importantly three steals and five of the team's six blocks. Clemson held NC State to 6-of-29 shooting (a 20.7 percent clip), and the Wolfpack managed just 17 points despite nine second chances on offensive rebounds.
The Wolfpack got on the scoreboard over three minutes in, but saw themselves in a 12-3 hole after Smith's transition layup almost halfway home. The Wolfpack also didn't score in the final three minutes of the first half.
The second half started productively for the Wolfpack, who embarked on a 12-5 stretch in the first two-plus minutes to tie the game. NC State was just five points short of its first-half total during the run, which ended with Fells' three-pointer for a 29-29 tie.
Clemson responded from a 33-33 deadlock with an 8-0 spurt capped by easy buckets from Smith and David Potter. The Wolfpack missed four straight shots and turned the basketball over two times as the Tigers again regained control.
The Tigers just exerted their will and expanded their advantage from that point forward. Back-to-back buckets by Booker increased the lead to 57-43 late in the contest, and Clemson rolled to the final horn.
Game Notes
Clemson shot 42.9 percent for the game and came up with 12 steals...Clemson scored 30 points in the paint to just 18 for the Wolfpack...North Carolina State still has a substantial 95-45 edge in the all-time series.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
