UNC basketball junior and former two-year Belmont sharpshooter Cade Tyson tallied two points in Monday night's 85-65 road defeat at the hands of Clemson, matching his highest total for the UNC Tar Heels (14-11, 7-6 ACC) since posting three points in the loss at Louisville on New Year's Day.

Across 22 appearances off the bench as a Tar Heel, the 6-foot-7, 200-pound Monroe, N.C., native is averaging 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in a career-high low 8.6 minutes per game.

He's shooting a discouraging 38.9 percent from the field, 27.0 percent beyond the arc (10-for-37), and 57.1 percent at the foul line.
