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. With Caleb Wilson out and Henri Veesaar questionable, UNC must lean on its guards and frontcourt depth while Syracuse—led by Donnie Freeman with support from Nate Kingz and JJ Starling—tests UNC’s interior and perimeter defense. 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.

Wade's Wolfpack debut delivers 82-58 rout of UNC

NC State, led by Copeland’s 18 points, handed rival North Carolina an 82-58 defeat in Will Wade’s first matchup with the Tar Heels, marking the Wolfpack’s largest win over UNC since 1962. UNC played without top scorers Wilson and Veesaar and struggled from three, while NC State got balanced scoring from Able, Williams and Lubin. The win comes amid the ACC’s shift to 18 conference games, with this year’s meeting the lone regular-season rivalry game.

Pack Rout Tar Heels 82-58 in Raleigh

NC State routed UNC 82-58 in Raleigh, as UNC played without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. The Tar Heels shot just 5-for-33 from three and committed 12 turnovers, while State shot 48.4% overall and went 9-for-20 from deep with a 40-28 edge in the paint. Zayden High led UNC with 13 points and a career-high 10 rebounds for UNC’s first double-double of the season, but the backcourt struggled (Derek Dixon 4-for-26 over his last three). The loss worsens UNC’s ACC Tournament double-bye chances (now 8-5 in ACC) and sets up a trip to Syracuse next.

Late defense, deep bench lift Virginia past Ohio State in Nashville

Virginia erased an early 11-point deficit, climbed back on a first-half run, then closed the game with a 12-2 surge and a late defensive stop to beat Ohio State 70-66 in Nashville. The win featured 28 points from the bench, a strong finish on defense in the final minutes, and another understated scoring night from Thijs De Ridder, who has struggled recently. UVA improves to 22-3 and now heads into a demanding ACC stretch, with questions lingering about De Ridder’s scoring but relief in the win and the team’s late-game resilience.

Tar Heels Escape Scare as 32-Point Lead Melts Ahead of Duke Showdown

Players stressed staying locked in and reacting quickly to runs amid UNC’s ongoing inconsistency.

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.

Tar Heels Look to Outpace Tech in Atlanta Showdown
