North Carolina and Syracuse face off tonight in a battle of two teams going in opposite directions this year.
The Tar Heels got back on the winning side of things after a tight 75-72 win over Miami this past weekend, while the Orange fell to Clemson by nine points on Saturday. Neither have done much winning recently, though, as UNC lost two of its past four and Syracuse lost four of its past six.
A win for North Carolina will help a slim lead in the ACC, while Syracuse is just looking to improve its conference tournament seed.
Guard R.J. Davis remains the Tar Heels' top man. He leads the team with 21.5 points per game. Armando Bacot averages a double-double this season with 14.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.
Judah Mintz is the No. 1 threat for the Orange. He averages a team-high 18.2 points and 4.6 assists per game. Forward Maliq Brown fills the boxsheet, too, with 9.2 points and a team-leading 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks.
Advanced efficiency stats heavily favor North Carolina. The Tar Heels rank No. 8 on KenPom.com, with the No. 6 adjusted defense and the No. 28 offense. The Orange, meanwhile, sit at No. 94 with the No. 148 offense and No. 53 defense.
