Lucas: UNC vs. Clemson Rapid Reactions

Posted Mar 13, 2026
UNC didn't defend well enough or play offense well enough to win the game. To complicate matters, the Tigers were the more physical team. There was a lot of energy the final three minutes as the Tar Heels cut the deficit from 15 points with 3:33 left to one with 2.7 seconds remaining, but the fourth seed was outplayed in the prior 37 minutes.
