UNC passes OT test at Clemson

Posted Jan 7, 2008

Wayne Ellington's most famous 3-point attempt is still probably the one he missed in the waning seconds of North Carolina's NCAA Tournament loss to Georgetown last season. The fact he swished a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining to give the Tar Heels a thrilling 90-88 overtime win over Clemson on Sunday night likely doesn't change that. But it does give him the confidence to keep shooting when the game's on the line. (Durham Herald-Sun)
