UNC comeback falls short as Clemson edges past in ACC quarterfinals

North Carolina’s bid to ride momentum into the NCAA Tournament hit a snag as Clemson held on for an 80-79 win in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals. The Tar Heels trailed by 18 in the second half but a late surge led by Henri Veesaar, who finished with a career-high 28 points and 17 rebounds, pulled UNC within one in the final seconds before Jarin Stevenson’s last-second heave missed. Clemson’s bench outscored UNC 29-5 and the Tigers maintained better physicality throughout the game. UNC, now 24-8, heads to the NCAA Tournament after back-to-back losses, while dealing with injuries to Caleb Wilson (recently broke a right-hand thumb) and center Carter Welling (torn ACL).

Veesaar: UNC's second-half effort 'outworked' in Duke loss

UNC collapsed in the second half against Duke, surrendering a 30-6 run after a competitive first half. The Tar Heels committed 14 turnovers and were dominated on the boards (Duke with 18 offensive rebounds to UNC's 5), leading Henri Veesaar to bluntly say they were outworked. With Caleb Wilson sidelined for the season, UNC faces a tougher path into the NCAA Tournament unless they address effort and rebounding."

Tar Heels fall short in Cal showdown after late rally fizzles

Carolina trailed Cal by 15 at halftime and couldn’t sustain a comeback as Cal shot 55.9% from the field (62.5% from three) in the first half. UNC’s defense struggled on the West Coast, and a late surge went 4-for-19 from three in the final 10 minutes, sealing an 84-78 loss. Derek Dixon started and urged better defense; Veesaar had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Wilson contributed late free throws and a late miss, and Hubert Davis acknowledged the team faced adversity and must fight through it.
