Clemson: F Jaron Blossomgame

The forward decided to return for his senior year and leads the team in scoring. He also leads the team in total blocks and minutes played. His only weakness this season is from behind the arc. Blossomgame is shooting only 15.8 percent from behind the three point line this season after shooting 44.6 percent from there last season.

North Carolina: G Nate Britt

Nate Britt gets the call here for being one of the few bright spots against Georgia Tech. The senior guard scored 13 points and had five steals in 26 minutes of play against the Yellow Jackets. He also shot 3-4 from behind the arc.

This was a promising showing for a guy who was mired in a shooting slump. In his previous four games he was 7-27 from the field including 2-10 from three point range. Britt regaining some swagger will go a long way in firming up the Tar Heels back court until Theo Pinson returns.
