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.
