Lucas: UNC vs. Syracuse Rapid Reactions
One of the best performances of the season for UNC, at least for the first 30 minutes, as the Tar Heels smack Syracuse, 87-77. You hope that late 37-11 Syracuse run is exactly what the Tar Heels need for this week: a win, but plenty to improve on entering the Duke game.
Caleb Wilson had 22 points, but this was a game with a variety of contributors. (

Seth Trimble Finishing Takes Tar Heels Up Another Notch
UNC needs
Seth Trimble to consistently serve as the team's third scorer. He doesn't have to be third in scoring every game. He simply must give
Caleb Wilson and
Henri Veesaar a running partner in the scoring lane for the No. 14 Tar Heels. It's no coincidence that North Carolina 5-1 in games in which the 6-foot-4 senior slasher has scored 16 or more points. (
