Going into this season, there were several things that if you had said about Saturday’s game against Clemson, your sanity would likely have been questioned. Between Clemson’s strong ACC play and Carolina’s weak play, the game on Saturday took on an outsized importance in terms of how the rest of the season would go.
All in all, I’d say it went well. A 91-71 rout of the Tigers helped calm some of the worry and ended up being one of the best performances we’ve seen from this team all season. What did we learn — besides the Royism that EVERYONE tweeted out that we won’t repeat here —in this win?
