After an extended break due to COVID-19 issues with other programs, UNC basketball returns to action on Tuesday evening against Syracuse.

The Tar Heels managed to scrape close wins against Notre Dame and Miami to begin the new year. With normal starters like Garrison Brooks relegated to coming off the bench, Roy Williams has turned to players like Andrew Platek and Day’Ron Sharpe as he continues to shift around the lineup. Williams was effusive in his praise for Sharpe after the win against Miami.

“I’ve said that Day’Ron is as good a rebounder and will go down as the best rebounder I’ve had since Tyler Hansbrough,” Williams said. “I think that 12 points and 16 rebounds like that was fantastic for him… The young man can rebound the basketball and do some great things.”
