Live Blog: Clemson Gets Shot at Duke

11:50p.m.  82-48 Clemson rolls and expended little energy and now gets a shot at taking out Duke tomorrow afternoon.  Good night and drive home safely BC fans. 

11:43p.m.  Boston College will be checking out the Westin shortly so get the rooms while you can. 

11:33p.m. 99.9 FM Blogaholic Dan Mason claims, BC has quit!

 11:30p.m.  5:58 left 69-44 Clemson...its so so so over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:27p.m. I have seen at least 5 media members dose off in the last 5 minutes. 

11:25p.m. The 10-15 BC fans have left the building and heck this game is so bad even the Clemson fans are leaving early.  Oh no the BC pep band has left too! 

11:22p.m. BC could use a 20 point play actually my math stinks, they need a 25 point play

11:14 p.m. BC doesn't have a prayer why not a running clock??  Heck their band is even playing Living on a Prayer for them.  

11:12p.m.  11:43 left BC is hopeless down 58-35 and the game is stopped to replace the net Clemson is shooting on! 

11:05p.m.  Something college basketball should adopt, if a team trails by 20 or more in the second half any shot from the halfcourt logo should be worth 20pts.  Ok, maybe too radical, what about make it take it for the losing team?  This would keep interest level and tv viewers. On second thought none of this would help BC. 

11:02p.m.  My first team ballot looks like this:  Miami dance team, Clemson dance team, and UNC cheerleaders.  Its still early so my mind could change. 

 10:58p.m. Its games like these where I appreciate boxing more b/c refs cans step in and end it for safety reasons.  This game has that feel right now with BC making mistake after mistake and Clemson just outworking them. 

10:50p.m. Not a real good start for BC as Clemson comes out with 8 unanswered to start second half. 50-35 Clemson...safe travels BC.

10:42p.m. The media hospitality tent is calling me, but I plow on for you!  Clemson shot 58% in the first half with a huge points in the paint edge at 30-16.  Also points off turnovers were big for the Tigers 13 turnovers turned into 25pts. 

 10:36p.m. The ACC has the worst halftime shows.  Actually they don't have any at all.  Where is the guy who balances all the dishes when you need him?  Or how about frisbie catching dogs? 

10:31p.m. The chicken tacos on the concourse are exceptional here at Bobcats Arena.  Clemson 42-25 at the half over BC.

 10:28 p.m. Unofficial count Clemson has more dunks than BC has field goals.  42-20 Tigers with 1:44 left in the first half.  

10:25p.m. BC looks like an 11 seed and Clemson a 3 seed.  37-18 Tigers

10:22p.m. Clemson bigs have taken control of the paint after James Mays scored two fgs, Trevor Booker got two easy dunks. 

10:20p.m. BC has no answer for Clemson big man James Mays who now has 9 in the first half. 

10:15p.m. Next year's home for the ACC tournament the Ga. Dome has two holes in it and play has been suspended at the SEC after a strong storm came through.  Yikes.  No holes here in Bobcat Arena. 

 10:07 p.m. Every team that had the bye on day one has won so far and Clemson is looking poised to make it 4-4.   Now up 23-13

10:00p.m. BC ends Clemson's run at 19 unanswered with a pair of FTs, but are down 19-8. 

 9:55p.m. Tigers now on a 14-0 run and BC takes another timeout. 

9:51p.m. Tigers respond with a 10-0 run after BC jumped out early with a 6-0 run.  10-6 @15:31 Clemson on top.

 9:50 Clemson 1-1 from the FT line!  James Mays good on his and one opportunity. 

9:48p.m. A quick Matt Ryan TD pass has BC up 6-0.

 9:47p.m. Among the famous Alumni here for Clemson Elden Campbell, who is among the ACC legends being honored this weekend.

9:44p.m.  Game underway advantage Clemson on fans in the stands.
