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)
