This was supposed to be the teams’ second meeting of the season.
Going into January 9th, the Tar Heels had managed to scrape together a couple of wins against teams that’ll finish near the bottom of the ACC. Hopes weren’t very high that the Heels could start a brand new home winning streak against the Tigers. You know, the one that was snapped in the Before Times, during the 2020 Dumpster Fire. Clemson was coming in on a high. They had a dominating win over FSU, and looked like one of the top teams in the country.
The game never happened because of COVID-19 in the Clemson locker room.
