Carolina 65 - Clemson 45

Player of the Game 
Raleigh _  What would we do without Peppers?  He is proving to be an emotional boast to a team that can put you to sleep if you're not careful.

That was the case during a slow starting first half.  With 10:40 left in the first half, we only had a 2 point lead, 9 - 7.  Does any other CarolinaFan remember our teams in the not too distant past that went out to 12 point leads within 2 or 3 minutes?

Yes, I'll take a 20 point win any time.  And Clemson remains 0 - forever in Chapel Hill.  But will we survive the ACC play starting games like tonight?  I'm worried about N.C. State now.  Let's not think about Duke until Feb. 3.

OK Heels, keep up the hard work on execution and consistency.  I know you're as anxious to see the results as much as we are.  In the meantime we'll remember the play of tonight's game - a precision pass through traffic from Cota in the backcourt to Peppers on the baseline.  Then Peppers exploded with a reverse left-handed dunk and was fouled.  3 point play, done deal.

Welcome back, Kris!  You're looking better and better each game.

Go Heels!!!

P.S.  The new uniforms suck!  Give me "North Carolina"!
