Jae'Lyn Withers, resurgent Ian Jackson carry UNC Basketball to huge win at Syracuse

Posted Feb 15, 2025

Jae'Lyn Withers scored a season-high 19 points, including eight straight points during a key second-half stretch, and played excellent defense as North Carolina got a much-needed 88-82 victory at the JMA Dome in Syracuse.
