Tiger Starter Done for Season: Sophomore forward James Mays, Clemson’s leading rebounder, will miss the remainder of the season because he is academically ineligible. He has started all nine games for the Tigers and is a budding star, averaging 9.2 points and 7.6 rebounds for a Tigers team that has mashed many lower conference opponents before dropping its first game of the season at Georgia last night. Without Mays, an already guard-heavy Clemson lineup becomes thinner in the frontcourt. [12/29/05]
