Clemson jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead over NC Central, and the Tigers never looked back, cruising to a 71-51 win over the Eagles Friday night in Littlejohn Coliseum. The 22nd ranked Tigers move to 2-0 on the young season, while NC Central drops to 0-1.
On a night that saw both Shelton Mitchell and Marquise Reed have less than stellar shooting nights, David Skara had another impressive performance, leading all scorers with 16 pts. The senior kept up his hot shooting we saw in the opener, going 5-7 from the field, and hitting 3-4 from beyond the arc.
