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.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
