Clemson Basketball Falls to UNC, Secures ACC Tournament Spot

0:00On March 4, Clemson Men's basketball dropped the tough one to number 17 North Carolina, falling 67-63 at the Dean E. Smith, center on Tuesday night. The Tigers fought hard in a back-and-forth battle during the final week of the regular season, but couldn't hold on late. The game saw 10 lead changes, with both teams trading momentum. Clemson built a half-time edge thanks to strong inside play, but North Carolina heated up from beyond the arc and pulled ahead with a key run in the second half. Senior RJ Godfrey led the way for Clemson, with a career high 22 points and 9 rebounds, including a rare three-pointer early on. Despite chances to tie it down the stretch, the Tigers came up short on a crucial possession. This loss locks Clemson into fifth place in the ACC standings, earning them a single buy in the conference tournament. They entered as an 8C nationally and likely stayed there without a big run next week. Ben heads home for senior day on Saturday against Georgia Tech, looking to build momentum
