Key Points:
- Stanford's freshman Ebuka Okorie scored a career-high 36 points and added nine assists in a 95-90 victory over North Carolina, showcasing his offensive prowess despite intense defensive focus from the Tar Heels.
- Okorie's teammates Ryan Agarwal and Jeremy Dent-Smith also had career-high scoring nights, contributing to Stanford's impressive shooting performance of 14-for-21 from three-point range.
- North Carolina's defense struggled significantly, allowing Stanford to shoot 57 percent from the field and 67 percent from three in the second half, continuing a recent trend of poor defensive performances.
- The Tar Heels have now allowed at least two ACC opponents to score 95 or more points in regulation in just four conference games
