WHAT TO WATCH: Clemson should have no problems picking up its ninth win of the season against Division II Puerto Rico-Mayaguez in the opening round of the San Juan Shootout.

The Tigers are 5-2 all-time against the rest of this year?s tournament field. Clemson is one of just two schools to rank in the nation?s top 20 in both steals (No. 4) and block shots (No. 18). Guard Vernon Hamilton leads the ACC in steals and ranks No. 16 nationally.
ABOUT PUERTO RICO- MAYAGUEZ: A Division II school, Puerto Rico-Mayaguez hasn?t played since a 93-52 loss to Sacred Heart on Nov. 14. Mayaguez also lost to Harvard 85-65 in its season opener.

The San Juan Shootout will be played with experimental rules approved by the NCAA men?s basketball committee. They include an extended three-point line (20? 9?), a wider lane (14?) and a three foot restricted area arc under the basket.
Thanks for the info IE, I guess they are pretty bad. Maybe the extended 3 point line will help them.
