North Carolina Tar Heels
Last time out, North Carolina played Michigan in the Jumpman Invitational and won 80-76. This was a fun game between two teams who seem better than their early season struggles. Michigan led most of the first half, but the Tar Heels went on a big run to end the half and led by seven at the break. The Wolverines fought back in the second half, but it was too little too late. UNC could not cover the 5.5-point spread.
Armando Bacot had 26 points, five rebounds, and one steal on the night. Caleb Love added 18 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the win.

Pitt Panthers
Pitt visited the Syracuse Orange and escaped with an 84-82 win. The Panthers were in control of this game throughout, leading by as many as 20 points, but Syracuse got the game within one with under 30 seconds left in the game. Ultimately, Pitt held on for the road conference win and won outright as 3.5-point underdogs.
