ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- B.J. Holmes scored 20 points to help Texas A&M upset No. 19 Clemson 69-60 on Thursday in the first round of the 76 Classic.
David Loubeau added 12 points and nine rebounds and Bryan Davis had 10 points for the Aggies (4-0), who will face No. 8 West Virginia in a semifinal game on Friday.
Trevor Booker scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half for Clemson (4-1).
Texas A&M led by as many as 17 early in the second half before Clemson pulled to 58-56 when Tanner Smith made two free throws with 5:14 remaining. Smith finished with 14 points.
A free throw and then Holmes' 3-pointer gave the Aggies some breathing room and Clemson could never recover.
