The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting set to face off against Clemson for the second time this season. As many may recall, the Heels were able to beat the Tigers by four points in the final home game of the season. The difference in this game, though, is that the Tigers will be without junior forward Carter Welling, who went down with an injury last night. It’s a bummer that yet another player has suffered an untimely injury, but much like is the situation for the Heels, the show must go on.
At
the time of writing this article, we do not know how the Florida State/Duke game turned out. What I can say is that the Seminoles are currently putting up a respectable fight against the Blue Devils, further highlighting that the ACC Tournament title is still up for grabs. Should the Heels make it past the Tigers, they could have enough to make it to the championship game, but the keys are gonna be improved rebounding and reducing turnovers. The rebounding department in particular is troubling, especially since Caleb Wilson was a huge part of why their success. Step up, box out, and take care of the ball, and maybe we’ll get to enjoy a full weekend of Carolina Basketball.
As always, we will be back after the game with post-game analysis and takes. Until then, Go Heels!
