UNC Basketball: Biggest Takeaways From ACC Clash vs Syracuse (BR; Tansey)
The North Carolina Tar Heels passed the first of three major tests in a row Monday with a 93-83 win over Syracuse.
The Tar Heels played a sloppy first half against the struggling Orange, but they cleaned their game up enough to breeze past the visitors in the second stanza.
Four North Carolina players scored over 17 points in its seventh ACC win of the season, but it still has to work on a few things before the trip to Louisville Saturday.
