Guaynabo, Puerto Rico ? The size of No. 15 Clemson proved too much for DePaul.

Trevor Booker scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to help the Tigers beat the Blue Demons, 90-74, Friday in the San Juan Shootout.

“We didn’t have an answer for Booker,” DePaul coach Jerry Wainwright said. “We physically were overpowered. I thought they absolutely manhandled us at every position.”

Booker, who went 10-of-12 from the free-throw line, was one of six players in double figures for the Tigers (10-0), who got 15 points from Cliff Hammonds and 14 from Demontez Stitt.

Clemson, who trailed by one at the break, took control by opening the second half with a 19-4 run, capped by Hammonds’ three-pointer that put the Tigers ahead 59-45 with 14:45 left. Stitt started the run with seven consecutive points.

“Today was an example of a game where if we don’t ratchet down in the second half, we’re in trouble. So it was good to see the team respond,” Clemson coach Oliver Purnell said.

Burns led DePaul with 27 points. Karron Clarke added 14 and Dar Tucker had 13.

No. 10 Marquette 89, Coppin State 42

Milwaukee – Dominic James and Jerel McNeal scored 18 points each, and Marquette beat Coppin State. Marquette (9-1) held Coppin State scoreless for more than seven minutes during a dominant 22-0 run that put the game out of reach midway through the second half, playing suffocating defense against a team that had been held under 40 points in its previous two games.

James and the Marquette backcourt shut down Tywain McKee, Coppin State’s leading scorer at 17.1 points per game. McKee didn’t take a shot from the field in 13 first-half minutes and finished the game with two points, both on free throws.

No. 21 BYU 70, Southern Utah 55

Provo, Utah – Jonathan Tavernari scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half to lead Brigham Young. The win extended the Cougars’ home winning streak to 38 games, the longest active streak in the nation.

The game also marked the return of former BYU coach Roger Reid, who coached the Cougars for seven full seasons before being fired seven games into the 1996-97 campaign. Reid is in his first year as coach of the T-Birds (2-10).
