Clemson got 14 and nine rebounds from Clyde Trapp and another 10 points, six rebounds and five assists from Aamir Simms, as the Tigers beat North Carolina in back-to-back meetings for the fourth time in history with a 63-50 victory. It also marked the first time in history that Clemson has won three out of four meetings against the Heels.
Hunter Tyson added 16 points, all coming in the second half.
Al-Amir Dawes sealed the victory when he drove the lane with 1:52 to play and went up-and-under a UNC defender to hit a layup as the shot clock expired.
