Keys for UNC: Adam Boone has scored in double figures six times this season, three of them wins. Melvin Scott has done so on seven occasions, also in three wins. When Boone and Scott do so on the same night, North Carolina is undefeated at 2-0. Can't be a coincidence. In the 87-69 win at Clemson, the two guards combined for 40 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and one turnover in Jackie Manuel's absence.
Keys for Clemson: The Tigers have to put the mentality that has led to an 0-47 record in Chapel Hill away and come in with confidence against this UNC team. Clemson shot a dismal 38.1 percent from the field, including 5-of-22 from 3-point land, in the first meeting. But the Tigers have been finding their target better with a 48.1 field-goal percentage while splitting the last four games.
UNC Bench: Jawad Williams falls down; Jawad Williams screams in pain; Jawad Williams returns to the lineup the next game. Last time he did so, he scored 15 points and sparked an almost-miracle comeback against Ohio.
Clemson Bench: Tomas Nagys had nine points and nine rebounds in 20 minutes last time against the Tar Heels.
