In a game that ebbed and flowed much like the loss to Duke, UNC held off Syracuse late for a 75-70 win on Senior Night.
For much of the first half it was a game of runs. UNC bolted out to an early 7-2 lead and enjoyed leads of six three times and one as much as seven. In every case, the Orange answered back. UNC's half was defined by taking what the Syracuse zone was giving which was plentiful looks from three. For the half UNC had 34 field goal attempts with 50% of those coming from beyond the arc.
