Maybe this is the year we end the streak at UNC.

They are getting beat again tonight and we look like the real deal again tonight. We play at UNC January 16th.

times in my life time, and came out with a loss. Several of those losses were so egregious on the side of the officials, that I have no faith that we could be them if they played the whole game with four freaking people. So, I dunno...but I will never count out ACC refs when Clemson travels to UNC.

I am not expecting a win. They are still good....

especially at home. We will obviously be underdogs. That said, it's game we can watch and hope we pull it off and know it is possible, even if not likely. It's been a bit since I felt that way.

Who cares? Having only beating them once will still be in anomaly that everyone wants to talk about.

What are we going to do, hang a banner in our gym for having beaten than one time in Chapel Hill? I'd rather do something that actually matters like win the ACC tournament or go to the Final Four.

slowly fade away where we don't hear about he losing streak. It would be great for this team to be the team that did it.

it's one of those things that will mea a LOT to us long suffering Tiger hoops fans who have seen or listened to every single loss.
Let's get that first one, and worry about what happens next then.
We hadn't beaten Alabama since 1908, and had been pretty helpless agains The Tide for over a century, but winning ONE GAME last year sure was sweet and it made up for a lot!

Maintaining "The Streak" has become a holy mission for
Jan 3, 2018, 10:14 PM

the Tar Heel program.
Each year's UNC squad knows they simply cannot be the one that lets it end.
Their worst teams play above their heads to keep "The Streak" going, and our best teams fall apart at the mere thought of being in a position to finally end it.
If and when "The Streak" ends, it will have to be by a Clemson team that is demonstrably better than the one the Tar Heels put on the floor and still that Clemson team will have to perform in that game better than they have at any other time all year long.
Oh, and the officials will have to be willing to call a fair game ... maybe even lean a bit toward giving the Tigers some breaks.
It will take a perfect storm in Clemson's favor.
WHAT are the chances that all this happens in Chapel Hill in a few weeks?

It'll only end when UNC just blows it entirely.

Although it's a shame that we didn';t play there in 2009, which was the largest gap in ACC finish with us ahead of them in my lifetime.

We'll have to be about 30 points better to win by 1.

The ACC will not let that streak end without a fight.

We have beaten them on our home court. That is how they lost tonight. Playing there is totally different. I mean who do you think we are, Wofford?
