CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Trevor Booker had 15 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 19 Clemson win its 30th straight game in November, 102-66 over Winthrop on Monday night.

The Tigers (4-0) haven't lost in college basketball's opening month since a 79-70 defeat at future Atlantic Coast Conference member Boston College on Nov. 26, 2004.

It's a streak Booker and the Tigers easily increased against overmatched Winthrop (2-2).

Booker, Clemson's 6-foot-7 senior, had a three-point play and fadeaway jumper as the Tigers broke on top 12-4 less than 4 minutes in.  He really cranked it up to start the second half with six points in a 15-0 run that turned Clemson's comfortable margin into a blowout.

Booker had his second double-double this season and the 24th of his career.
