Greg Barnes has been grinding out the work on Smith Center renovations and all that comes with it.

So worth keeping up there.

But Greg, there's a big game in the Smith Center tonight, Carolina in Louisville, just briefly.

Carolina played Syracuse.

They got Henry Vesar back.

He looked a little sluggish early, but he really came on, and he makes a huge difference

for this basketball team.

Really does.

You know, offensively, he's skilled.

And so they were able to pound the ball down to him and got some easy buckets over smaller defenders.

And then, of course, knocking down a three.

And we even saw an angry dunk, which I don't know that we've seen that all

season long, but provides a lot of spacing, and that was really beneficial.

And then also, yeah, of course, defensively, his length just kind of changes how teams try to

attack UNC.

And we saw it in Raleigh where NC State had no fear whatsoever going in to the paint,

and they had a lot of success.

And at least with Vassar, you kind of have to be aware of what he provides.

And he had three blocks.

That kind of speaks to his ability to change thoughts and trajectories of shots,

and those types of things.

So very beneficial.
