Okorie's 36 Push Stanford Past UNC in Palo Alto

Ebuka Okorie poured in a career-best 36 points with nine assists to lift Stanford to a 95-90 win over North Carolina in Palo Alto. Stanford buried 16 of 28 threes (10 of 16 in the second half), while UNC led for 37:56 but couldn’t close, hampered by late turnovers and a cold second half from deep (1-for-9). Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar each finished with 26, going 12-for-12 from two in the final 20 minutes, and Luka Bogavac added 13 for Stanford. UNC had only seven assists on 32 made baskets, illustrating a ball-python offense, and the Tar Heels will look to rebound at Cal next.
