Senior point guard Frankie Ferrari had 14 points and four steals, and sophomore guard Charles Minlend also scored 14 points for the Dons (17-6, 5-4), who have lost three straight games. Senior forward Nate Renfro scored 10 points for San Francisco, which shot 38.8 percent from the field and was 5 of 16 from 3-point range.

Clarke has 74 blocked shots to break the school mark of 70 set by Austin Daye in the 2008-09 season.
