Clemson, S.C. (CBS2) — Boise State Men's basketball is on the road this week as they took on Clemson Sunday in South Carolina.

The Broncos fought hard in the first half heading into the locker room down by three.

The Broncos tied up the game early on in the second half but the Tigers controlled the second half giving the Broncos their first loss of the season with a final score of 85-68.

"We had a lot of guys do some good things for us,” said head coach Leon Rice. “A couple of guys did some really good things . . . That game was lost on the glass. We haven’t been (beaten) like that in (a long time). We knew that coming in – (Clemson) is picked toward the top of the ACC for a reason.”

Boise State will remain on the East Coast this week as they head into the ESPN Events Invitational on Nov. 23-26. They will start the tournament by taking on Virginia Tech.
