ACC/SEC Basketball Roundup, 11/12

Lots of action for a Monday night, let's see if any new faces stood out besides Chris Bosh in an ESPN commercial with Mike Breen wearing his jersey.

Duke 86, New Mexico State 61
Most exciting thing about this one was the rediscovery of Martin Iti, one time big recruit for Charlotte, who disappeared for a few years, and is now, obviously an Aggie. Duke jumped out to a 21 point first half lead, with Jon Scheyer scoring 22. Next up: Princeton, 11/19.

Boston College 68, Florida Atlantic 62
The Eagles trailed in the first half, but rallied behind 21 from Tyrese Rice. Rice also had 9 assists against 5 turnovers. Shamari Spears added 18 points and 8 rebounds in his season debut. Next up: Mercer, 11/18.

South Carolina 103, The Citadel 42
Is this a new breed of Gamecock? Four players scored in double figures, led by Brandis Raley-Ross with 13. Devan Downey and Zam Frederick combined for 18 assists. Next up: Southern Cal, 11/17.

Clemson 91, Furman 46
Clemson destroys the Paladins, with James Mays, Cliff Hammonds, KC Rivers, and Demontez Stitt all scoring double figures. Terrance Oglesby only managed to put up 8 shots in 14 minutes, which is disappointing for our new Shameless Gunner. Next up: at Mississippi State, 11/15.

LSU 72, Southeastern Louisiana 62
Juco transfer Marcus Thornton scores 27 to lead the Bengal Tigers, and freshman Anthony Randolph added 19. Tasmin Mitchell only scored 6, which could be a damaging trend for LSU. Next up: McNeese State, 11/14.

Florida State 92, Georgia Southern 67
Ralph Mims started in place of Toney Douglas in this one, but Douglas came off the bench to score 18. Isaiah Swann led all scorers with 25, and freshman Julian Vaughn scored12 off the bench. Next up: UAB, 11/16.

Maryland 70, Hampton 64
No doubt Gary was not happy with this performance, as the Terps were outscored in the second half. James Gist had a double double in his season debut with 16 and 12, and Greivis Vasquez scored 21, but was only 6 for 15 from the field and had 8 turnovers. Maryland's starters played 151 of the possible 200 minutes, and would have played more if not for Landon Milbourne's foul trouble. Next up: Northeastern, 11/15.
