Liberty Flames vs. Clemson Tigers
November 19, 2009
The Flames took on the No. 22 Clemson Tigers in the Vines Center Tuesday morning. The game was broadcasted on national television as part of ESPN's College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon which featured 12 college basketball games in 24 hours. Tuesday's game was the sixth in the marathon.
A crowd of over 8,000 watched as the Tigers walked away victorious over the Flames with a final score of 79-39. Both teams scored within the first few minutes but Clemson was ahead 17-1 fifteen minutes in.
Students were excused from classes and filled the Vines Center to watch this historic game. Decked out in red, the student section was overflowing, as well as the rest of the Vines Center. The building was filled beyond capacity for the second time. Back in 1997, over 9,000 fans packed into the Vines Center to watch the Flames face off with Virginia Tech.
