UNC 84 Syracuse 73

RIP UNC Toughness Questions

UNC overcomes one of Marcus Paige's worst games since probably his freshman season to grab a huge road win over Syracuse 84-73. For the first time in the Roy Williams era, UNC is 4-0 in ACC play.

This game was fraught with bad mojo for the Tar Heels. Facing a zone defense and three point shooting team on the road with Orange coach Jim Boeheim returning from suspension and Syracuse trying to avoid an 0-4 ACC start. A loss would not be surprising, especially given the volatility of college basketball this season and in the ACC.
