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.

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. Derek Dixon contributed seven assists as the backcourt work improved, and UNC limited Pitt’s offensive rebounding while committing only four turnovers. 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.

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.
