The Clemson Tigers lost their first 59 games in Chapel Hill. They’ve now won in two of their past three trips there, and dealt UNC a blow Tuesday night.
Brad Brownell kept telling his Clemson players that they were a better team than their results had shown so far with their NCAA Tournament hopes in question.

“We’re not talented enough to turn it on and off whenever we want to,” said Armando Bacot after a night when the Tar Heels tried and failed to flip the switch after coming out flat.
