Ellington, Heels Throttle Clemson

Posted Jan 22, 2009
While Clemson is desperate to end its 0-54 streak in Chapel Hill, the Tigers are beginning to realize that as long as Wayne Ellington is a Tar Heel, their luck won’t change. The junior guard torched No. 10 Clemson again on Wednesday, this time for 25 points in No. 5 UNC’s 94-70 victory. “I felt pretty good,” Ellington told reporters. “Everybody says I play well against Clemson, so I had confidence coming in.” (Inside Carolina)
