Third-ranked North Carolina needed a gritty comeback to keep its amazing string against Clemson intact. No. 5 UCLA couldn't put together such a run against Washington.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 39 points to help the Tar Heels rally from a 15-point deficit and beat Clemson 103-93 in double overtime, keeping North Carolina perfect in 53 games against the Tigers in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Wayne Ellington added 28 points for the Tar Heels (22-2, 7-2 ACC), who set an NCAA record for the longest home winning streak against one opponent. The previous record was 52, set by Princeton against Brown from 1929-2002.
In Seattle, Justin Dentmon, benched in favor of a freshman for most of the season, scored 20 points to lead previously wayward Washington to a 71-61 upset of the Bruins (21-3, 9-2 Pac-10).
In other Top 25 games Sunday, No. 13 Xavier beat Saint Joseph's 76-72, and No. 14 Indiana topped Ohio State 59-53.
"They out-toughed us, out-hustled us," said Josh Shipp, who led the Bruins with 19 points.
