Chansky’s Notebook: The X-Factor
The outlook of
Jarin Stevenson’s season changed radically with injuries to
Caleb Wilson and
Henri Veesaar. Suddenly the six-foot-ten wing was needed under the basket. After starting several games at the 3 this season, Stevenson has migrated to the 4 to accompany Veesaar. And that has unlocked a new version of the player we thought we knew. (

Clemson Players Discuss Last Week's Loss at UNC, Thursday's ACC Tournament Matchup
Butta Johnson on Clemson's loss to UNC last week: "It was a tough one going down to the wire. We need to rebound and slow the ball down. Sometimes they were able to get the ball out. They don't want to play against our half-court defense, so they want to play faster. We've got to put 94 feet of pressure on them and make them play a half-court game." (

UNC's Henri Veesaar has been adaptable his whole career. His biggest test awaits
If
Caleb Wilson is defined by his competitive edge,
Henri Veesaar operates on something more understated: adaptability. His ability to continually mold himself and, in doing so, raise the ceiling of whatever basketball program he steps into. After recording zero double-doubles in three years at Arizona, Veesaar now has the second-most in the ACC this season. (

Caleb Wilson Named To Jay Bilas' All-America team
This has been an amazing college basketball season. Freshman stars earned six of the 20 spots on this All-America list, which is remarkable. Third Team:
Caleb Wilson, UNC. Wilson's loss was as saddening to college basketball fans as to the Tar Heels faithful. He changes the game when he's on the court, and UNC will miss him badly in the tournament. (

UNC Basketball’s Longest ACC Tournament Drought
UNC’s relationship with the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament is an impressive and fairly consistent one. The Tar Heels have the second-most ACC championships (18) in men’s basketball, and they’re the only league member that has never competed in the ACC Tournament for any 10-year period without capturing at least one title. Perhaps until now. (

Clemson likely to face UNC without injured starting center
North Carolina and Clemson will play for the second time in 10 days, but the Tigers will likely be without a key starter. No. 19-ranked and No. 4 seed UNC, of course, will be without
Caleb Wilson, but No. 5-seed Clemson probably will be without 6-11 center Carter Welling. "I find it unlikely he will play [Thursday]," Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. (
