Tar Heels Seek Redemption in Syracuse Road Rematch

No. 16 North Carolina travels to the JMA Wireless Dome for a road rematch with Syracuse after an 82-58 loss to NC State.

The Tar Heels previously built a 32-point lead in their last meeting but had to hold on to win 87-77; this game in Syracuse will require better execution and ball control to avoid a similar collapse.

Tar Heels Ride Balanced Attack to Top Syracuse 87-77

UNC defeated Syracuse 87-77 in a game built on balanced scoring and solid defense, with Caleb Wilson leading the way at 22 points and a quartet of Tar Heels reaching double figures (including strong bench contributions from Veesaar, Powell, and Bogavac). The Heels shot well from three (8-for-18) and limited turnovers for most of the game, while forcing nine Syracuse turnovers in the first half and dominating points off turnovers. A late Syracuse surge trimmed the final margin after UNC had built a 32-point lead, and Carolina now faces a tougher slate, including a home meeting with Duke as ESPN’s College GameDay rolls into Chapel Hill.
