CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Clemson redshirt sophomore Jaron Blossomgame scored a career-high 26 points to lead the Tigers to a 70-60 win over Oakland on Monday night at Littlejohn Coliseum.

The Tigers (7-4) led by as many as 15 points in the second half, but held off an Oakland comeback attempt that cut the Clemson lead to 56-52 on a pair of Kahlil Felder free throws with 5:46 to play.

Clemson answered with a pair of 3-pointers from senior point guard Rod Hall and Damarcus Harrison to stem the rally.

Landry Nnoko added 17 points and seven rebounds for Clemson, while Donte Grantham added 12 points and eight boards.

Felder led the Golden Grizzlies (4-9) with 22 points.

The Tigers went on a 10-0 run over the first four minutes of the game and never trailed.

Blossomgame's dunk with 12 minutes left in the first half gave Clemson an 18-5 lead. Oakland rallied to cut the deficit to 25-22 when Jalen Hayes' runner in the lane ended an 8-3 run with 3:40 to play in the half.

But Clemson answered with 11 unanswered points over the next three minutes and led 36-26 at the break.
