North Carolina vs. Syracuse Basketball Preview: Tar Heels Face Road Rematch With Syracuse

Posted Feb 20, 2026
With a 6-8 ACC record, the Orange sit 12th in the conference standings, but are only a half game back from ninth place. In its four games since playing UNC, Syracuse went 2-2, with a pair of wins at home and a pair of losses on the road. Given UNC’s injury situation, Zayden High and Jarin Stevenson must be smart about when and how to avoid fouls. (Inside Carolina)
