If the game were in Chapel Hill, this would be the easiest pick of the season. The Tigers have never won at the Hill and I am not one to pick against tradition. However the game is in Clemson where they are 7-0 this season.

Final Score: 83-77 UNC over Clemson. Carolina has followed their two losses this season with two wins by an average of 44 points. Of course those two teams are a combined 12-15 on the season. Clemson keeps it close, but the Tar Heels avoid starting conference play 0-2 with a win in their first game of 2017.
