No. 8 North Carolina Triumphs Over No. 16 Clemson in ACC Showdown
No. 8 North Carolina, led by RJ Davis and Armando Bacot, defeated 16th-ranked Clemson 65-55 in an ACC basketball game. Bacot contributed a double-double with 14 points and 16 rebounds, while Davis scored 14 points, helping the Tar Heels to start 3-0 in ACC play for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Clemson struggled from the three-point line, making only one of 18 attempts, and is likely to drop out of the rankings after this loss and a previous one to Miami. North Carolina's defense, particularly Bacot's effort against Clemson's top scorer PJ Hall, was pivotal in the victory.
