UNC breaks nail-biting game

Posted Jan 7, 2008

Wayne Ellington remained calm and buried a game-winning 3-pointer in the last second of overtime for No. 1 North Carolina. A program whose rich tradition includes many memorable comebacks added another chapter to its legacy Sunday night. The top-ranked Tar Heels erased a seven-point deficit in the final 2 1/2 minutes of regulation and got a heroic shot from Ellington to rally past No. 19 Clemson 90-88 at Littlejohn Coliseum.
