And this game is headed to OT. Seems like clemsons been leading most the game and was up by 6 with 3 min left but missed shots just kept letting UNC stay close.

Wayne Ellington is amazing, go Heels...I know it would have helped Ole Miss but the only way I'd root against UNC is if they were going head to head with the Rebs.

actually this does help Ole Miss, it shows that Clemson is for real and that we beat a team worse than the no. 1 team in the nation did.

While I don't subscribe to the transitive property of sports (A beat B and B beat C therefore A better than C), it is fun to think about it that way!

Well not to go transcendental on you but the fact remains that nothing is good but by comparison.

While true, that can only be absolute when two things are constant. Sports teams are anything but constant. They may play a good Florida team to the buzzer one week then get beat down by a bad Northwestern State team another week.

Nah, I get the point and I don't give this basketball team nearly enough credit as they deserve. The lack of good defense concerns me. If they can beat TENN in K-ville then I'll be a believer. Regardless, this is the best Rebel b-ball team in several years and they seem to be improving every game too.
