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.
