Posted Jan 11, 2014
North Carolina’s first chance to face Syracuse’s trademark zone defense as part of the expanded ACC couldn’t have gone much worse. The Tar Heels matched the fewest points they’ve ever scored in the shot clock era, falling 57-45 to the undefeated Orange in front of 32,171 at the Carrier Dome. Sophomore guard Marcus Paige scored 17 points and junior forward James Michael McAdoo added 15. (Durham Herald-Sun)
