Sept. 17, 2009

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson vs. Liberty men’s basketball game scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17 has been set for a 10:00 AM tipoff, according to ESPN. The Tigers and Flames will take part in the network’s College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, which will feature 19 games from 20 conferences across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN360.com. Clemson’s game will be featured on the main network, meaning the Tiger program now has a guarantee of at least 12 nationally-televised contests this upcoming season.

The two teams squared off last season at Littlejohn Coliseum, with the Tigers taking an 80-75 win after trailing by as much as 12 points in the second half. K.C. Rivers matched his career-high with 32 points, while Trevor Booker posted 18 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots.

The only game on Clemson’s schedule without a start time is the Dec. 19 home game against College of Charleston. It will be announced by Fox Sports South at a later date. Clemson opens the regular season on Friday, Nov. 13 against Presbyterian.
