Henri Veesaar feels 'great' after 10 days of treatment, rest

"Just rested a week and kept doing treatment, and then did my first running drills on Wednesday. It felt good," Henri Veesaar said of his lower-body injury after scoring 19 points in UNC's win Saturday over Syracuse. "Then we did a workout and a team practice on Friday, and I felt good for that, too. So, we felt like we’re good to go for the game." (Tar Heel Tribune)

Zayden High Comes Off Bench, Continues Upward Trend for UNC Basketball

With 6:25 to play in Saturday’s first half, Zayden High swatted the ball out of William Kyle’s hands, dove to the floor between Kyle’s legs in front of the UNC bench to secure the steal, and immediately called timeout before being swarmed by his teammates. It was the sort of play that, Tuesday night in Raleigh, Hubert Davis said his team didn’t make. (Inside Carolina)

North Carolina vs. Syracuse Postgame Notes

Against Syracuse, Zayden High had a game-high and career-high 11 rebounds and led both teams with a plus 17. Luka Bogavac scored 13 points, grabbed six rebounds, and had two assists/zero turnovers. It was the 17th time he scored double figures and the first time without making a 3-pointer. Seth Trimble scored all 13 of his points in the second half. (GoHeels.com)

More comfortable Zayden High elevating his game

Zayden High began the season as a reserve who could spell the starters for a few possessions. During his two starts while Henri Veesaar was out, he played well but was more of a serviceable replacement. That shifted dramatically with his performance in No. 16 North Carolina’s 77-64 victory over Syracuse. High isn’t just filling time. He’s filled a role. (Tar Heel Tribune)
