VCU Stuns UNC in OT After 19-Point Lead Collapse

VCU erased a 19-point second-half deficit to upset UNC 82-78 in overtime in the NCAA Tournament. UNC squandered the late chances with free-throw misses and turnovers as VCU surged to shoot 62% in the second half. Terrence Hill poured in 34 for VCU, while Henri Veesaar tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds for UNC but two late OT free throws haunted him. UNC’s bench was outscored 42-7, and the Tar Heels set more difficult first-round NCAA history, with Seth Trimble likely playing his last game for Carolina; questions loom about the program’s direction after back-to-back early exits.

Veesaar: UNC's second-half effort 'outworked' in Duke loss

The Tar Heels committed 14 turnovers and were dominated on the boards (Duke with 18 offensive rebounds to UNC's 5), leading Henri Veesaar to bluntly say they were outworked. With Caleb Wilson sidelined for the season, UNC faces a tougher path into the NCAA Tournament unless they address effort and rebounding."

Tar Heels' Veesaar Remains Day-to-Day Ahead of Return

UNC center Henri Veesaar remains day-to-day as he recovers from a lower-extremity issue and illness, with coach Hubert Davis saying he’s improving each day but still held out of practice and ruled out for Tuesday’s loss to NC State; the Arizona transfer is UNC’s second-leading scorer and a key contributor (16.4 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 44.8% 3PT) with 13 double-doubles this season, and the team willwait for an update Friday ahead of Saturday’s game against Syracuse.

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.
