Clemson Upsets North Carolina, NCAA Hopes Fade

Clemson's basketball team defeated North Carolina 85-65, jeopardizing the Tar Heels' NCAA Tournament hopes. Despite a brief resurgence with a win against Pitt, North Carolina has struggled throughout the season, standing at 14-11 overall and 7-6 in the ACC. Clemson's Viktor Lakhin led the game with 22 points, while North Carolina's shooting woes continued, hitting only 21.1% of their three-point attempts. The loss has led to speculation about the future of head coach Hubert Davis. Meanwhile, Duke's Tyrese Proctor has improved his scoring, recently achieving a career-high 23 points against Clemson. NC State's Ben Middlebrooks has seen a dip in scoring during the team's eight-game losing streak, as the Wolfpack struggles to stay competitive.
