Overview
- Stanford buried 16 three-pointers at 57% from deep, erasing a double-digit UNC lead down the stretch.
- Freshman Ebuka Okorie erupted for 36 points with nine assists as Jeremy Dent-Smith and Ryan Agarwal added 20 apiece and 11 combined threes.
- UNC left points at the line by going 20-for-32 on free throws and shot 1-for-9 from three after halftime despite 26-point efforts from Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar.
- Opponents are 44-for-90 from beyond the arc over UNC's last three games and have made 56 threes in four ACC outings as the Tar Heels' adjusted defensive efficiency has sunk near No. 280.
- Now 14-3 (2-2 ACC), UNC heads to Cal on Saturday for a Quad 1 opportunity, with postgame comments highlighting a gap between player views of repeated actions and Hubert Davis's broader explanation of multiple breakdowns.
