It looked like another long day for the Carolina Tar Heels. Coming off a loss to the powerhouse Blue Devils, Carolina looked to be on the verge of defeat at the hands of the Clemson Tigers. The Tigers dominated regulation and forced multiple turnovers. Tigers' player Cliff Hammonds scored 31 points, and the Tigers tallied 17 offensive rebounds. The dominating performance put the Tigers ahead by 11 with three minutes left in regulation.
But if there are two things you can count on in Carolina, it's delicious pork BBQ and the Tar Heels beating Clemson at home. As if by a miracle, the Heels tied the game in regulation eventually forcing double OT. Hansbourgh ended the night with 39 points, and led the Heels back from the jaws of defeat in a game that looked to end one of the greatest streaks in college sports history.
Despite Clemson's efforts, the game still made some history. Clemson has now lost 53 straight in Chapel Hill. Coming off a loss to Duke, and absent Lawson, Carolina needed every trick in the book to keep the streak alive. Although the night ended like any other when Carolina plays Clemson, the effort by the Tigers did prove one thing to Carolina fans: It's better to be lucky than good.
