Posted Jan 10, 2016
No. 6 UNC countered Syracuse’s 3-point barrage with its high-low offense against Jim Boeheim’s signature 2-3 zone at the Carrier Dome on Saturday. While the Orange’s treys eventually stopped falling, the Tar Heels’ offense kept rolling in securing a 84-73 victory. UNC made its living out of the high-low after halftime with Brice Johnson dishing out a career-high eight assists. (Inside Carolina)
