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.

The Clemson Tigers kept on rolling two days after upsetting No. 2 Duke, as they blew out North Carolina, 85-65, at Littlejohn Coliseum on Monday night.

Clemson has a new defensive coordinator this season, replacing Wes Goodwin with former Penn State DC and Indiana head coach Tom Allen. The Tigers did not replace any other defensive position coaches, but Allen’s son has also joined as an analyst.

Former ECU Head Football Coach Mike Houston now knows where he will be coaching next year. Houston is headed South to The Palmetto State to join the staff at Clemson University under Dabo Swinney. He will be a defensive assistant coach with the Tigers.
