The curious case of 0-54

Posted Jan 22, 2009
Don't say Clemson didn't pull out all the stops. This time, they tried taking an early lead and sophomore forward Jerai Grant tried knocking Tyler Hansbrough's tooth loose. It almost worked. The great All-America "Psycho T" had to rush to the North Carolina locker room for a protective mouthpiece and Tanner Smith immediately made a 3-point shot for the Tigers. Alas, the whole trip eventually unraveled (again). (Charleston Post and Courier)
