Tip is at 6:00 in Littlejohn! As always, I'll have live play-by-play and post-game interviews right here. I'm racing back from the baseball game in Greenville, so I'll miss most of the first half but will catch up. The Tigers beat the Heels 82-78 in Littlejohn last year. They are going for 3rd straight win to even their ACC record to 8-8!

Maye makes a pair of free throws to tie it. He scored 30 with 15 rebounds in their big win at Duke a week ago.

Ugh Cam Johnson hits a 3. He is deadly from out there at 47% on the season. Hard to defend him on the perimeter with his length. Tigers trail by 3.

Coby White hits a 3 to push the lead to 4. White is having a tremendous freshman season. He is the only UNC freshman in history with three 30-point games.

REED FOR 3!!! 3 straight 3's for the Tigers, and they lead by 5! First points of the game for Reed, who only scored 14 at Pitt after scoring a career-high 31 in the game before that against BC.

Maye layup gives the Heels a one point lead. The number of UNC fans here is sickening. Sounds as loud as the Clemson fans normally sound in here when they score! Still easily the most Clemson fans here for a game this season.

Heels are 13-33 from 3. Take away just 2 of those, which is still an insane number, the Tigers would be up one right now.

Ugh fast break layup puts Heels up 7. Mitchell is fouled and will shoot 2 with a minute left.

Reply
CUTrevor 2019-03-02 19:14:48


UNBELIEVABLE! Tigers cut the lead to 2 with 10 seconds left, and Mitchell doesn't get a foul call driving to the basket. He was basically tackled, and the refs let if go. Should have had a chance to send the game to overtime at the free throw line. Hell of an effort by the Tigers, giving the No.5 team all they could handle!

TIGERS LOSE 81-79.

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly!
