Twists and turns: North Carolina arrives at same old place
Posted Feb 11, 2008
The Tar Heels had no business beating Clemson this time, even if that’s indeed business as usual. It took two overtimes and some of forward Tyler Hansbrough’s best work in three seasons of great achievements. That’s how close Clemson came to knocking the jinx out of 53 unfulfilled trips here. Recorded at 103-93 for college basketball history buffs, this was a Sunday night at the Smith Center that might hold no equal.
