North Carolina vs. Syracuse Basketball Preview: Tar Heels Face Road Rematch With Syracuse

With a 6-8 ACC record, the Orange sit 12th in the conference standings, but are only a half game back from ninth place.

Given UNC’s injury situation, Zayden High and Jarin Stevenson must be smart about when and how to avoid fouls. (Inside Carolina)

No. 16 UNC Basketball at Syracuse: TV info, stats, scouting Orange, keys to game, and notes

Without Caleb Wilson and likely without Henri Veesaar vs. Syracuse, UNC can’t depend on traditional post scoring.

UNC should look to score before Syracuse’s defense is set. (Tar Heel Tribune)

Why UNC Basketball's Matchup Saturday At Syracuse Matters, A Lot

UNC's loss at NC State, as bad as it was, only counts as one loss. It was a game State was going to be favored in regardless of who played.

But if you lose this game Saturday at Syracuse, now you’re bringing a lot of other teams into the mix. (Inside Carolina)
