In basketball time, Clemson's dry spell in Chapel Hill has covered eons
Posted Feb 17, 2012
If you want a feel for how long that Clemson drought in Chapel Hill represents in basketball terms, here you go: 1929 – Brooklyn’s George L. Pierce is granted the first patent for a basket ball. This is the same year the charging foul is introduced. At this point, Clemson had only played in Chapel Hill once, taking a 50-20 loss on Jan. 15 1926 to the Tar Heels, or White Phantoms as they were then called.
