GAMEDAY SETUP • Clemson is 20-131 all-time against North Carolina; 0-58 at UNC. • Reed is one of just 17 players in the country to average at least 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals. He is the lone member of this club in the ACC. SERIES HISTORY TIGER TRACKS • Coach Brownell passed Oliver Purnell for the third most wins at Clemson with his 139th victory as a Tiger against Miami (Jan. 13). • The Tigers’ next three opponents are a combined 43-10 (at North Carolina, vs. Notre Dame and at Virginia). |

I'm getting ready to drive up to Chapel Hill. Everyone knows about the fact that the Tigers have never won there--ESPN makes sure of that. In my opinion, "the streak" ended in 2008 when the refs blatantly and shamelessly cheated the Tigers out of the game. They were up 17 points in the 2nd half, and then the refs started calling a foul every time the Tigers came within 5 feet of Hansbrough. The foul calls were a ridiculous 31 to 7 in favor of the Heels, and the Tigers lost in overtime. The Heels never led in regulation. If I had my way, we'd bring in a Big Ten crew for the game tonight and see what happens! Let's see if this gritty 15-2 Clemson team can overcome history and cheating ACC refs. |

Ugh for some reason the UNC press WiFi isn't working, so I'll do the best I can to post on my phone. I'll have pist game interviews as well, but if I can't get the WiFi to work, I won't be able to post the videos until morning. Reply |

Bad start for the Tigers. Heels have been hot from 3 early. Eli just scored on a fast break layup and will be at the line for a 3-point play, but the Tigers trail 18-7 with 11:43 left in the half.

Eli layup and one but misses the free throw. The Tigers are 4-10 at the line tonight! They were 16-17 at the line in the Miami win. Maybe they shouldn't have shot any yesterday or today like Brownell told us they didn't before the Miami game!

One of Heels' best players, Luke Maye, just walked to the locker room with a face full of blood! Looks to be a busted nose. Huge loss if he can't return! Tigers trail by 9 with 2 mins left in half. |

Luke Maye just came back to the bench and looks like he will return. It appears to just be a laceration on his face, not a broken nose. They stitched him up in the locker room. |
