No. 16 UNC Basketball at Syracuse: TV info, stats, scouting Orange, keys to game, and notes

Posted Feb 20, 2026
Without Caleb Wilson and likely without Henri Veesaar vs. Syracuse, UNC can’t depend on traditional post scoring. Zayden High and Jarin Stevenson must provide rim runs, screen-setting, offensive rebounding, and vertical defense. Collective rebounding, especially from guards, is essential. UNC should look to score before Syracuse’s defense is set. (Tar Heel Tribune)
