Heels, Tigers pick up the pace
Posted Jan 17, 2007
A week ago, both teams were on top of the world. Or on top of the nation, at least. North Carolina was ranked No. 1, and Clemson was the lone undefeated men's basketball team in Division I. But both teams lost their lofty status Saturday, with UNC falling at Virginia Tech and the Tigers losing at Maryland. Did those setbacks dull any of the shine from today's game between the No. 4 Tar Heels and No. 19 Tigers at Littlejohn Coliseum?
