CLEMSON, SC – On a night North Carolina had to at least be competitive in a Quad 1 game at No. 23 Clemson, the Tar Heels weren’t. Instead, they were run out of Littlejohn Coliseum, 85-65 sinking perhaps to a new low on the season that has had quite a few.
The Tar Heels led by two points 10:37 into the contest, but it was all Tigers after that.
They closed the half on a 28-10 run for a 49-33 lead and used a 14-4 spurt and more dominance to cruise to the victory.
Clemson’s largest lead was 26 points twice, the latest being 77-51 with 5:21 remaining.
UNC lost for the fifth time in its last seven games and fell to 14-11 overall and 7-6 in the ACC. The Tigers improved to 20-5 and 12-2.
