Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Fayetteville Observer
The University of North Carolina basketball team secured their first road win against a top-25 opponent since 2022, defeating 16th-ranked Clemson 65-55. Coach Hubert Davis highlighted the team's player-led huddles and preparation in practice as key factors in their success. The Tar Heels have improved defensively, allowing fewer than 60 points in consecutive road games for the first time since the 2014-15 season. The team's leadership and communication, particularly in the final minutes of the game, were instrumental in closing out the win, with significant contributions from players like Armando Bacot and Paxson Wojcik. UNC is now 3-0 in ACC play for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
