Clemson vs. North Carolina is usually not a very good basketball game. In most years UNC has been far superior in terms of talent compared to Clemson who isn’t traditionally known for being a basketball school. Clemson has been rolling as of late with wins over Miami, Louisville, and Boston College in their last five games and is looking to put another notch under their belt with a victory over the Tar Heels. North Carolina had a stumble suffering back to back losses at the beginning of the month but have regained momentum winning their last two games.
Clemson (15-2) has come out of nowhere and has proven time in and time out they’re not a team to sleep on and has earned their #20 ranking. Clemson is lead by all upperclassmen with their starting lineup consisting of three juniors and two seniors. Elijah Thomas has shown the most significant improvement showing real skill at being a rim protector and an overall defensive stud. He leads the Tigers with 2.6 blocks and 7.9 rebounds and just under one steal per game. Clemson is currently sitting in 2nd in the ACC standings at 4-1 conference record sitting only one game behind Virginia who is 5-0 in conference play. I think Clemson will have to come with a lot of energy and a good game plan to beat North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina (14-4) is coming off a thrilling one-point victory over the Fighting Irish in South Bend. Walk on turned superstar Luke Maye was unreal making plays on both sides of the court to bring the Tar Heels back from down 6 with 1:30 left in the game to win 69-68. With Roy Williams still captaining the ship, UNC will always be a force to be reckoned with. The Tar Heels are not as talented as they usually are losing a lot of last years team in the previous NBA Draft. UNC still has Joel Berry II who has been a rock for them at point guard once again this year. Berry has been great in terms of running the offense and getting the right man the ball and finishing when needed, but despite being second on the team in points per game, Berry has shot an uncharacteristic .391% from the field. He will have to find his shooting stroke if UNC is going to take down the Tigers on their home court.
