Tar Heels Ride Four 15-Point Scores to 79-65 Win Over Pitt

UNC defeated Pitt 79-65 at the Smith Center behind four Tar Heels with 15+ points (Stevenson, Trimble, High, Bogavac) in a game played without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. The Heels started 8-for-8 and surged to an 18-8 lead, then pushed tempo to win fast-break points 16-4.

The win sets up a big week with road trips to NC State and Syracuse, and Veesaar’s status remains a key question moving forward.
