Blowing UNC out of the gym. Leave it to Brownell to wait until UNC is absolutely dreadful to end the streak.

Glad the Tigers won and ended the streak even if wasn't against a good North Carolina team because I would hate to think of the perception of both Clemson and Brad Brownell if Tar Heels had won.

Remember that season when UNC won only 4 conference games... 4-12 in the ACC and 8-20 overall.
Two of their wins were against Shyatt's Clemson team and they beat us by 18+.
I don't think that BB is the transcendent coach that will take us to Basketball Valhalla....close but not quite. OP rebuilt, Brownell is a middle-man and I think we might be able to find the next level on the next coach IF we don't get antsy. I think BB, the admins, and the rest are showing that we area good, if slightly under-invested program that has been raising the foundation. Barnes for all of his ceiling busting ability didn't advance the Clemson program and Shyatt nearly proved that.

You know - every team in Clemson history "literally"

left it to this team and this coach to end the streak and they did.
Yes UNC stinks this year, but there is still enough talent up there to play good teams well.
I'm glad the streak is over -- but the "fire Brownell" crowd has plenty of other valid reasons besides "leave it to Brownell to win against a bad team" argument.

Leave it to Brownell ? So now our basketball coach is responsible for how good or bad another team's season is going ? Maybe we should give the win back , is that it ?

Amazing how many of our “fans” go to such great lengths

to discredit our team’s accomplishments.
We beat UNC in Chapel Hill this year. It had never been done before. It’s a significant accomplishment. End of story.

It was probably a little over the top but the ACC is horrid this year and we can’t capitalize. Watch it be a lot stronger next year and then we’ll be back to square one.

There are 3 teams in the ACC who are Sweet 16 worthy and at least two who'll be in the mix for a Final 4 appearance .
The rhetoric of calling a league up or down is just talking points for a thirsty media . The ACC has had way better years to be certain , but before we pass judgement on the ACC ... let's see who makes noise in the NCAA tournament .

We’re a 3 bid league according to projections. Worst total since expansion to 64. Worst percentage since the advent of at large teams. Those aren’t just talking points.

It's not just talking points Dug, the ACC's

NET ranking this year is 6th, behind every other P5 team + Big East.
https://warrennolan.com/basketball/2020/conferencenet
That's not to say we don't have some great teams in the ACC. Duke, Louisville and FSU should all contend for Sweet 16/Elite 8 or possibly more than that. But looking at the individual team NET rankings going into last night's games, you had Duke at 7, Louisville at 7, FSU at 15, then the next best ACC team was Notre Dame at 51. And they lost last night, so they may drop a spot or two. So there's a really wide gap between the top 3 teams in conference and everyone else.

Wake is not a bad team. We beat UNC in Chapel Hill and it

doesn't matter how good or bad they are this year. It's in the record books and the streak is over. I don't think there will be an asterisk beside the W pointing out that "UNC was terrible this particular year and shouldn't be really counted."

Maybe being the team that allowed the Clemson streak to end has just totally demoralized them.
Those UNC players will always be known as the ones that let it happen. I'm honestly surprised none of them have simply dropped of the team and walked away into the mists.
Meanwhile, the Clemson team of 2019/2020 and CBB will always be known as the Clemson team that broke UNC's back, finally, even though they are having yet another mediocre season, albeit one punctuated by a few gems.

better teams and still didn't win up there.
Brownell and the team should credit for not flubbing it up or letting the refs keep them from a win.
