No. 2 Duke on Saturday night by dismantling the Atlantic Coast Conference’s other traditional power in North Carolina, 85-65. “Very proud of this team,” said Viktor Lakhin, the Cincinnati transfer who had 22 points with a season-high four 3-pointers and helped Clemson take control in the opening half by building a 49-33 lead.

Clemson led UNC 49-33 at halftime and outscored them 36-32 in the second half, a margin aided when the Tigers called off the troops and subbed in their bench players (including a number of walk-ons) in the game’s final minutes.

With both teams playing on short rest after emotional wins over the weekend, Clemson was too much for UNC on Monday. The Tigers kept rolling in a 85-65 win over the Tar Heels.
