Back to the North Carolina Tar Heels Newsfeed

UNC basketball showed it can take the pain. Now, can it be patient against Syracuse?

UNC looks to continue to prove its growth Tuesday at Syracuse. The Tar Heels have won only one true road game this season (at Louisville), and the Orange are one of five teams tied for third place in the ACC standings. Syracuse presents a different kind of challenge: Carolina has yet to play a team this season that relies so heavily on zone defense. (AOL.com) North Carolina vs. Syracuse Basketball Preview
