Henri Veesaar changes UNC’s geometry at both ends, leads huge bounce-back win

Posted Feb 21, 2026
Henri Veesaar was back, and so was No. 16 North Carolina’s rhythm on both ends in a bounce-back win the Tar Heels badly needed. It wasn’t all pretty in a game that would have been more difficult against a better team, but UNC rebounded from Tuesday’s loss, pushing the tempo in a 77-64 Quad 1 victory Saturday over Syracuse at the JMA Wireless Dome.
