Ian Schieffelin (Loganville, Ga./Grayson) totaled his best scoring game of the season with 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the floor. Both Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J./The Patrick School) and David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio/First Love Christian Academy) netted 10 points each.

A rather slow played first half ended with the Tar Heels (17-7, 9-4 ACC) up by five. North Carolina immediately went up by a game-high nine points early in the second half, but Clemson was able to weather the storm and stayed close, eventually tying the game at 49-49.

After trailing by as many as five again soon thereafter, the Tigers took four different one-point leads but couldn’t hold on the Tar Heels’ last offensive possession. Following a Brady Manek put-back layup, the Tigers had a shot at the victory, but a Collins 3-pointer fell short.
