CLEMSON, SC – In some respects, North Carolina’s scheduling gauntlet that started in The Bahamas on Thanksgiving, continues and included Quad 1 road games for the Tar Heels this past week at Pittsburgh and Clemson.

Eighth-ranked UNC improved to 11-3 overall and 3-0 in the ACC. Clemson dropped to 11-3 and 1-2.
