College basketball: Syracuse guards spark upset of No. 7 North Carolina – UPI.com
Feb. 14 (UPI) — Syracuse guards Judah Mintz and J.J. Starling combined for 48 points to lead the unranked Orange to an 86-79 upset over No. 7 North Carolina.
The Orange outshot the Tar Heels 62.5% to 47.5% in the victory Tuesday at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y.
“I saw it coming with two or three minutes left,” Mintz told the team website. “I was praying we made all of our free throws so we could make it happen. I’ve never been a part of something like that. It was special.”
The Tar Heels took an initial lead off the tip-off before the Orange answered with a 9-2 run. The Tar Heels followed with a 15-4 run to wrestle back the lead, but the Orange tied the score 42-42 at halftime.
The Tar Heels led just once in the second half. The Orange started the half with a 10-1 run. Their foes held a 19-12 scoring advantage over the next 7:41 to fight for a 65-64 edge, their final lead of the night.
Starling and Mintz then scored eight points apiece over the final 6:45 to help the Orange clinch their upset.
Mintz made 8 of 11 shots, 9 of 11 free throws and logged five rebounds, four assists and three steals in the victory. Starling made 9 of 15 shots, including 3 of 6 3-point attempts, for the Orange. Forwards Maliq Brown and Chris Bell scored 14 and 13 points respectively, in the victory.
The Tar Heels and Orange each scored 32 points in the paint and 14 points off turnovers. The Tar Heels edged the Orange 18-3 in second chance points and 18-9 in fast break points.
“This game was the best game I’ve seen that we’ve played all year,” Orange coach Adrian Autry told reporters. “Everybody that played in the game was outstanding.”
Tar Heels guards R.J. Davis and Cormac Ryan logged 19 and 18 points, respectively. Harrison Ingram totaled 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels. Fellow Tar Heels forward Armando Bacot logged 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The Orange (16-9) will face Georgia Tech (10-14) at 5:30 p.m. EST Saturday in Atlanta. The Tar Heels (19-6) will host Virginia Tech (14-10) at 2 p.m. Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Three Underrated UNC Football Seniors To Watch in 2026
The North Carolina Tar Heels will be a young program across the board next season, with well over two dozen freshmen and numerous additions from the transfer portal this offseason. Expectations for the 2026 season are lowered dramatically after a disastrous first season for head coach Bill Belichick, though those expectations could help the Tar Heels fly under the radar.
As the Tar Heels approach the end of spring ball, it is time to look at the veterans of the team—the ones who have the experience to lead, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s look at three underrated seniors for the 2026 football season.
Ade Willie, Cornerback
Willie joins the Tar Heels program after four years with Michigan State, as the former 4-star player in the 2022 recruiting class gets an opportunity to not only provide depth to the secondary, but potentially start Week 0 against TCU.
Willie played in over 30 games with the Spartans and brings experience in the secondary at cornerback and safety, along with quality length and closing speed to the football. For a defense that needs players to step up, the redshirt senior from IMG Academy will be asked to do so.
Isaiah Johnson, Defensive Lineman
The defensive line is beginning to look like one of the Tar Heels’ strengths for the 2026 season. Johnson, a former transfer from Arizona, enters his redshirt senior year looking to add another year of production after 40 tackles and two sacks this past season.
North Carolina has an impressive group of starters with Malkart Abou-Jaoude, Leroy Jackson, and incoming transfer Jaylen Harvey. Johnson adds value to the group as a run defender with the ability to penetrate the pocket. While not discussed as a key player, Johnson’s name will be used plenty during the regular season as a potential standout for the program’s defensive front.
Coleman Bryson, Safety
Bryson was a reserve player for the Tar Heels’ secondary last season as a big nickel defender in the rotation. Heading into his redshirt senior year, the former Minnesota Gopher is looking to become a full-time starter in the secondary.
It wasn’t long ago when Bryson was making plays as the 2022 Pinstripe Bowl Defensive MVP. His special teams abilities were valuable for North Carolina last season, and he flashed at times in coverage against tight ends, including a pass breakup in the season-opener against TCU. The Waynesville, North Carolina, native could be a key defender on the back-seven in 2026.
