Even with Clemson's ranking this year, they play unbelievably sometimes. UNC-Clemson games are almost as exciting as UNC-Duke games. I'm watching Texas-Kansas right now and it just doesn't have the same excitement to it (sorry Texas/Kansas fans). Around here, everything STOPS during the ACC and NCAA tournaments. It's more exciting (and more important by FAR) than NFL football. People sit at red lights when they turn green if they are listening to the game and it gets exciting (which is usual). Every store and bar in town is tuned to it. It's about the only time of the year we don't suffer road rage in heavy traffic :o)



>I just finished watching it on the DVR -- commercials, begone! -- and thought it was a very exciting game. Carolina plays the fastest pace of any team around and Clemson stayed right with them playing the same style. These guys make the Big 10 look like water buffaloes coated in wet cement.

>>It was alittle worrisome at half-time (especially considering Clemson beat Duke yesterday and the last two times UNC and Clemson played it went into overtime even though Clemson is 0-53 in Chapel Hill), but they pulled it off! Go Tarheels! Kudos to Clemson for making it to the tournament title game for the first time in 46 years (and beat Duke in the process after losing to Duke 22 times in a row). History was almost made, but not quite (thank goodness!)
