The UNC and Clemson men’s basketball teams are in two completely different worlds right now.
ACC leader North Carolina (18-4, 10-1) is riding high off it 93-84 win over archrival Duke on Saturday night, as Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram both dominated with double-doubles. With the exception of a few tense moments, UNC pretty much controlled this game from opening tip.
Clemson, which was once ranked and viewed as a legitimate contender in the ACC, has seen itself spiral downward ever since its first loss of the season against Memphis. The Tigers (14-7, 4-6) sit at eighth place in the ACC, losing a pair of 1-point heartbreakers against Duke and UVA.
The Tar Heels and Tigers matched up against each other on Saturday, Jan. 5 in Clemson. This was a game highlighted by defense, as UNC held an opponent to under 70 points for the fourth-consecutive game. Tigers big man Ian Schieffelin gave North Carolina trouble down low, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 16 points, but UNC combatted that by holding Clemson leading scorer PJ Hall in check.
If you hadn’t guessed it already, yes – the two will matchup again. Clemson comes to Chapel Hill on Tuesday, Feb. 6 for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off.
