ACC Champs: UNC 86, Clemson 81
Posted Mar 17, 2008
No. 1 UNC built a double-digit second-half lead against Clemson behind Wayne Ellington’s 24 points on Sunday afternoon, and then withstood a furious Tiger rally to win their 17th ACC Tournament Championship with an 86-81 victory. After failing to match their opponents’ intensity in the first two rounds, UNC arrived at Bobcats Arena on Sunday morning willing and ready to move ahead of rival Duke (16) in ACC Tournament title game victories.
