For the second consecutive season, the UCF men's basketball team will spend Thanksgiving on the road. Last season, the team played at the Spartan Coca-Cola Classic in East Lansing, MI, bat tling national power Michigan State. This season, a battle with Clemson in the first round of the Greenville, SC SoCon Holiday Hoops tournament awaits. UCF will participate in the eight team tournament from Nov. 26-28, playing in three contests starting with the matchup against the Tigers at 8:30 p.m. Picked to finish near the bottom of the ACC, Clemson has already been upset once this year, falling at home to Wofford, 79-74, on Nov. 21. The Tigers opened the season with a 77-47 victory against East Tennessee State. Leading the team is point guard Will Solomon, who has taken • over the reigns of the team from the graduated Terrell Mcintyre. Solomon is averaging 24.5 points through two games this season. Their strength over UCF lies in their frontcourt size, as they line up Andrius Jurkunas (6'9, 230 lbs), Chucky Gilmore (6'8, 275), and Adam Allenspach (7' 1, 257) up front. Through two games, the Clemson trio has combined for 65 points, 45 rebounds, and eight blocks. .. Clemson isn't very deep however, meaning their starters must log a lot of minutes. The Knights' second game will be against either Old Dominion or Wisconsin-Green Bay in either the semi-finals or in a consolation round. Both teams won at least 20 games last season.
