What to Know

The Syracuse Orange and the North Carolina Tar Heels are set to square off in an ACC matchup at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 28 at Dean E. Smith Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with UNC winning the first 81-75 at home and the Orange taking the second 72-70.

A win for ‘Cuse just wasn’t in the stars this past Saturday as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 97-72 walloping at the Duke Blue Devils’ hands. ‘Cuse got double-digit scores from four players: guard Buddy Boeheim (23), guard Joseph Girard III (18), forward Benny Williams (14), and center Bourama Sidibe (11). Williams hadn’t helped his team much against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this past Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Benny Williams’ points were the most he has had all season.

Meanwhile, UNC bagged an 84-74 victory over the NC State Wolfpack this past Saturday. It was another big night for UNC’s forward Armando Bacot, who dropped a double-double on 28 points and 18 rebounds along with five blocks. That makes it three consecutive games in which Bacot has had at least 15 rebounds.

The Orange are now 15-14 while the Tar Heels sit at 21-8. UNC is 14-6 after wins this year, and ‘Cuse is 7-6 after losses.
