On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- North Carolina (20-6, 8-5 ACC) faces Syracuse (15-12, 6-8 ACC) on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. in the JMA Wireless Dome, with the game airing on ABC.
- UNC is coming off a season-worst loss to N.C. State, marked by poor shooting and injuries to key frontcourt players Caleb Wilson (out indefinitely) and Henri Veesaar (questionable).
- Syracuse, sitting 12th in the ACC, has struggled recently but rebounded with two wins before a heavy loss to Duke; key player Donnie Freeman could exploit UNC’s weakened frontcourt.
- UNC’s previous meeting with Syracuse saw a strong Tar Heels performance
