 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina's Wayne Ellington did it to Clemson again, this time with an Atlantic Coast Conference championship at stake.
Ellington finished with 24 points while Tyler Hansbrough had 18 Sunday to help the top-ranked Tar Heels beat the Tigers 86-81 in the tournament championship game, a victory that almost certainly locks up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament while giving North Carolina a record 17th ACC title.
Ty Lawson had 12 points, five rebounds and eight assists for the Tar Heels (32-2), who managed a tough three-game sweep of the Tigers to earn their 11th straight win.
