North Carolina, Clemson are both looking to rebound as they match up tonight in Clemson South Carolina!
Why?
Because they both lost their previous games!
North Carolina lost to tobacco road rival Duke in Chapel Hill on Saturday 67-87!
Why?
Duke rolled to a 31-8 lead, then rode a star-level performance from Griffin — a freshman who missed most of his last two high school seasons due to injury. He had 13 points before halftime then put on a show to start the second half with his own 10-0 run that featured two 3s -- one of which had him dribbling between his legs to freeze Manek before burying it from in front of the Duke bench.
By the time AJ Griffin scored over Manek on an off-balance drive, Duke had stretched the lead back to 49-28 to force a North Carolina timeout.
North Carolina didn't get closer than 16 again, with Duke celebrating 3-pointers and dunks on the Tar Heels' homecourt while the fans began fleeing for the exits with 5 minutes left.
