CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Top-ranked North Carolina survived a big-time scare to stay undefeated at the start the Atlantic Coast Conference season.
Wayne Ellington's 3-pointer with four-tenths of a second left in overtime lifted the top-ranked Tar Heels to a 90-88 victory over 19th-ranked Clemson. Ellington finished with a career-high 36 points.
Only moments earlier, Clemson freshman Demontez Stitt had hit two foul shots with 13.9 seconds to go that put the Tigers ahead, 88-87. Instead, Ellington's basket sent the 15-and-0 Tar Heels out of Littlejohn Coliseum with their seventh straight win over Clemson with unbeaten record in tact.
K.C. Rivers led Clemson with 24 points, but failed to score in overtime.
