North Carolina is aware that the trajectory of its season is causing some alarm, and another matchup looms large for the Tar Heels when they visit Clemson on Monday night.North Carolina (14-10, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) has endured a bumpy stretch, but the Tar Heels are coming off Saturday’s 67-66 home victory against Pitt.”I think you should play like that every day, every possession, whether it’s shootaround, practice, game,” North Carolina coach Hubert Davis said. “It’s not a sense of urgency. It’s a sense of emergency.”Clemson (19-5, 11-2) will be just two days removed from conquering No. 2 Duke, with Saturday night’s 77-71 victory ending the country’s longest winning streak at 16 games.”Our guys mustered up the spirit and energy,” Tigers coach Brad Brownell said. “… A big one for us and another one coming on Monday.”Fans stormed the court postgame to celebrate the outcome against Duke. The Tigers are hoping that the enthusiasm expressed from the crowd can be replicated throughout Monday night’s game.Clemson will be going for a trifecta of sorts on its home court against college basketball’s bluebloods. The Tigers have toppled Kentucky and Duke at Littlejohn Coliseum.”This place is just special when it’s like this,” Brownell said. “Obviously, it has been like this several times this year now and I’m very thankful for that. I know our players are. It certainly affects the outcome of the game.”The Tigers covet these situations and are determined to rise to the occasion.”Knowing we’re built for it,” said guard Chase Hunter, who had 14 points and seven rebounds against Duke. “We’ve been in a lot of close games, big games. Making sure we stay confident.”Two of North Carolina’s ACC victories are one-point decisions. Other tight games haven’t gone the Tar Heels’ way.”We feel like we’ve been in that position so many times, and we’ve been on the wrong side of it,” North Carolina guard Elliot Cadeau said. “So it feels good to be on the good side of it now.”
