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)

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)

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

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.
