CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Freshman Trevor Booker had a career-high 21 points and Cliff Hammonds added 18 as Clemson won its eighth straight NIT home game, 89-68 over Mississippi on Monday night.
The Tigers (23-10) also improved to 4-0 this season against the Southeastern Conference. They defeated Mississippi State, South Carolina and Georgia during the regular season.
Clemson, the South region's No. 1 seed, gets the chance to extend that streak at Littlejohn Coliseum_ which coincidentally began after an Ole Miss victory here in the 1982 NIT — when it takes on Syracuse in the most Orange of tournament quarterfinals on Wednesday night.
