The Syracuse Orange fought for a huge 86-79 win over the No. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels in front of a great crowd at the JMA Wireless Dome. Judah Mintz and JJ Starling played exceptionally well, seemingly taking turns hitting big shots for the Orange in the 2nd half. Mintz scored 16 of his 25 points in the 2nd half and Starling scored 13 of his 23 points after the break. As a team, the Orange shot 63% from the floor in the win. RJ Davis led the Heels with 19 points and Armando Bacot recorded his 80th career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.

Bottom line they loosing to unranked teams which is bad with talent they have no defense
16-10 with 6 regular season games left. 2 road wins not gonna help. The 🍊 playing better since Benny Williams got bounced. JJ Starling is balling and since they put Chris Bell in the small-ball lineup they've looked much better. The transfer 7'4 Center McLeod out for the year but he wasnt all that. Hope the team can go 4-2 to 20 wins, then fair well in the ACC Tournament to make the big dance.
Terrible loss
I loved everything about it
How is that banked in 3 by Cuse not a double dribble? Easy call to make and no one noticed it.
Glad to get some pay back after the lopsided game here in Chapel Hill. Worst game I have attended at UNC. Been to about 8 games now here in Chapel Hill. What's worse, losing by almost 40 or losing to a team you beat by 40, lol . LETS GO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORANGE
Congrats on your title vs duke , unc you forget you have to play the rest of season 🤣 🤣???
Syracuse needs to stay in the 2/3 defense.This team plays a better all around game when they are in the 2/3. Less fouls and stays fresh and focused on efficient offense.
This isn't good! Carolina tanking at the wrong time. They should be getting it right by now. This is coaching, not having this team mentally prepared. We know they are more talented.
Yikes!!! Unc is back to playing like they played last year😵😲..Need four good starters to compliment RJ Davis😬
Orange had heart! 🍊
Acc aint what it was, but great win for autry and the orange.
Clemson beat Syracuse North Carolina didnt but their ranked # 7 but Clemson not ranked something not right in college basketball
Good ball-fake travel
Syracuse plays 4 guards and 1 Forward… where is UNCs big men tonight
Rushing after beating #7? I'll take act like you've been there for 100 Alex.
I'm over this team. I'll watch, but I'm not going to stress anymore. They have showed that they will be lucky to make it to sweet 16.
Bacot has the ACC running over him and I'm a 50 year UNC fan. He should just shut his mouth and play or sit his butt down.
Ryan manos de mantequilla
Cuse balled tonight Carolina is trash for sure
Great game from start to finish let's Go Syracuse Orange .Just wait until next month tarheels we're gonna blow you out of Cameron indoor next month .
Bacot getting humbled after his statements

Wow, Bacot sure has the ACC going thru him! Just shows you anyone can win. Pitt isnt as weak as everyone thought either. Took down UVA with ease
