Greensboro (AP) - Trevor Booker scored a season-high 17 points, and No. 22 Clemson routed North Carolina-Greensboro 89-67 on Friday night.

Milton Jennings added 14 points for the Tigers (3-0), Andre Young had 13 and David Potter finished with 11.

They shot 54.5 percent, broke it open by closing the first half with a huge run and extended their school-record winning streak in non-conference road games to 11.

Clemson's victory, its 29th straight in November since 2005, was its closest of the season. Neither of its previous two victories was decided by fewer than 40 points.

Brandon Evans had a season-high 17 points and Ben Stywall added 13 to lead UNC Greensboro (0-3). All of the Spartans' losses have come against ACC schools, and they fell to 1-29 all-time against that conference. Their ambitious schedule includes half of the ACC's 12 teams.
