Posted Jan 14, 2026
No. 14 North Carolina (14-3, 2-2 ACC standings) faltered down the stretch on Wednesday, as Stanford rained in threes to overtake the Tar Heels 95-90 and deal them their third loss of the season. UNC had no answer for Stanford freshman Ebuka Okorie. Despite the constant harassment of Seth Trimble, Okorie finished with 36 points and nine assists. (Inside Carolina)
