Game Thread: UNC-Syracuse

North Carolina vs Syracuse, 12:00 PM, ESPN

Who said noon starts were just for football?

One late injury note. Desmond Hubert suffered a concussion in practice on Friday and will be unavailable for today's game.

UNC will be looking to avoid an 0-3 start in ACC play for the first time since 1997. The Heels did this dance last season opening up 0-2 after losses to Virginia and Miami before getting a huge win on the road at Florida State. Will the "good" Tar Heels that showed in games against Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky make an appearance today? Or is there more than enough games of UNC playing like they over the two outings to settle on that being the norm for this team?

UNC has wins over #1 and #3 this season. A win today would give them the match set.
