LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Clemson enjoyed every bit of its highest-scoring game in seven years.Avry Holmes scored 22 points, Jaron Blossomgame added 17 and Clemson defeated Davidson 95-78 on Thursday in the opening game of the Tire Pros Invitational.It was Clemsons best point total since scoring 102 against Winthrop on Nov. 23, 2009. Gabe DeVoe added 16 for the Tigers (2-0), who shot 52 percent.I think we have a good team, Tigers coach Brad Brownell said. I think we have more balance than weve had in several years. ... Because of that, I think were a little tougher matchup and that was evident today by five guys in double figures.Donte Grantham and Sidy Djitte each scored 12 for the Tigers.Peyton Aldridge scored 22 points for Davidson (1-1), which went 11 for 40 from 3-point range. Jack Gibbs, who was sixth nationally in scoring at 23.7 points per game last season, scored 18 for the Wildcats.Gibbs didnt play in Davidsons opener because of a shoulder issue, and wore a protective sleeve on his left shoulder Thursday.I dont feel limited, Gibbs said. I just have to go out there, be a leader and do a better job of getting our team to do the things we do in practice. If it doesnt start with me and Peyton, theres no one else on the team thats going to start it.Davidson started off hot from 3-point range, making 6 of its first 10. But the Wildcats missed their next 16 from beyond the arc, and fell into a double-digit-sized hole that they couldnt escape the rest of the way.You start out making 3s, all of a sudden its like a poison because now you think you can make 3s, Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. The nature of our team is to go inside-out, but the demon of making those early 3s hung around our heads quite a bit.BIG PICTUREClemson: Grantham is now one shy of 100 3-pointers for his Clemson career, after making two on Thursday. ... Clemson got hit with a first-half technical because Legend Robertin was in the scorebook as wearing No. 0 -- he wears No. 00, and the penalty for that is whats called an administrative technical.Davidson: The Wildcats grabbed 20 offensive rebounds. ... Backup forward Nathan Ekwu played about 7 minutes, scored no points, took no shots -- and fouled out for the 15th time in his career.PROTECT THE BALLClemson isnt giving opponents any extra help so far this season.The Tigers have 16 turnovers, total, through the first two games -- and their opponents, Georgia and now Davidson, have turned those into only 11 points. Clemson had a 21-4 edge in points off turnovers Thursday, that 17-point margin also being the difference in the final score.UP NEXTClemson: No. 11 Xavier, which edged Missouri 83-82 in OT, in the semifinals Friday.Davidson: Missouri in the consolation semifinals Friday.

A controversy has arisen over marathon runner OP Jaishas statements following the event in Rio. Jaisha, who had to be admitted to hospital after the event, says she was dehydrated because Indian officials did not organize her water and energy drinks during the race. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has, in response, said both the athlete and her coach - and the other runner, Kavita Raut - had, when asked a day before the event, declined any personal drinks.Jaisha had collapsed at the finish line after completing the marathon and had to be rushed to a hospital where her coach Nikolai Snesarev got into an altercation with one of the doctors and ended up being detained for half a day by the local police. She finished 89th in the event with a below-par timing of 2:47:19.On returning to India, she said that she was not provided any water and energy drinks by the officials even though designated stations were allotted to India. I could have died there, Jaisha told ANI.It was very hot there. The competition was at 9am, I ran in scorching heat. There was no water for us, neither recovery drinks nor food. Only once in 8kms did we get water (from the Rio organisers) which did not help at all. All the countries had their stalls at every 2kms but our countrys stall was empty, Jaisha said.We are supposed to be given drinks by our technical officials. We cannot take water from any other team. I saw the Indian board there but there was nothing. I fainted after the race and was administered glucose. I thought I would die, Jaisha said.My coach was very angry and he ended up arguing with the doctors. He thought I was dead. He pushed the doctor to enter my room because he knew he would be held responsible if anything happened to me.The runner claimed that she got no response from officials when she asked why water was not provided to her at the stalls. II asked officials why there was no water for us but I got no response.dddddddddddd I dont know where they were or what they were doing. I was in a very bad shape, she said.However, the AFI gave a distinctly different version of events. A day before the marathon, we asked both Jaisha and her coach whether personal drinks would be needed and they declined, AFI secretary CK Valson told ESPN. We are not supposed to give water in any case; if we do, the athlete will get disqualified. They are supposed to pick it up from the table or take it from the volunteers.We did not have refreshment stations for the simple reason that they themselves said they wouldnt need personal drinks. If they wanted we could have easily provided them with refreshments.In a separate statement, the AFI explained the protocol in detail. Each team is allowed to keep their own personalised drinks on the booths, marked in a colour as per the choice of the team and athlete. Accordingly, as per the rule, on the night ahead of womens marathon race, the Indian team manager carried 16 empty bottles, eight each for Jaisha and Kavita Raut and visited the duo and their coach Nikolai Snesarev in their room, the statement said.The team manager asked them to provide their choice of personalised drink which would then be sealed in their presence and handed over to the organisers for installing them on the booth along with a placard as per the requirement of the athlete. Ms Jaisha and Ms Raut declined the offer and informed the Indian team manager that they didnt require personalised drink, and if at all they required it during the race, they would use the drinks available at the water booth and refreshment booth provided by the organisers, the statement said.
