Clemson Falls At UNC 67-63

Story byC_CraftWed, March 4, 2026 at 2:40 AM UTC·3 min readTigers Battle but Can’t Overcome Poor Guard PlayClemson once again felt the familiar sting of a loss at UNC on Tuesday night, dropping a back and forth affair to lose their 5th in 6 games down the stretch of the season. RJ Godfrey tried to put the team on his back all night long with a career high 22 points to go with 9 rebounds a couple of blocks and winning a couple of scraps for loose balls. Carter Welling finally found his stroke from 3 point land in the second half to finish with 13 points but the Tigers guards struggled mightily to do their part, especially Dillon Hunter who finished just 1-9 from the floor along with two very costly turnovers that led directly to UNC scores, the first ending a Clemson run and sparking a 12-0 Tarheel run.

Key Highlights

  • Freshman Derek Dixon found his way out of a bad shooting slump just in time to nail a monster 3-pointer to put the Heels up 2 possessions under a minute which the Tigers could not recover from.
  • Despite holding Tarheel stars Seth Trimble and Henri Veesaar to a combined 22 points and UNC under 70 as a team, Clemson’s inability to execute at critical times as well as make several open 3-pointers in the first half when they had a chance to build a good lead proved costly.
  • Butta Johnson nailed a midrange 2 and buried a beautiful 3-pointer from the top of the key to send Clemson to the half up 30-27.

  • Clemson was up 5 with numbers on the break when Hunter was stripped, leading to a Tarheel bucket to get their crowd back in it and launching the biggest run of the game for either team.
