Cade Tyson Leads UNC to Victory Over La Salle

Cade Tyson, a junior transfer from Belmont, had a breakout performance in UNC's 93-67 victory over La Salle, scoring a game-high 23 points after a challenging start to his Tar Heel career. This marked a significant improvement for Tyson, who had been on a four-game scoreless streak and had received criticism for his early season struggles. His contribution helped to ignite a 20-2 run in the first half, showcasing his potential as a key offensive player for the team. The win was crucial for UNC, who aimed to regain momentum after previous losses to SEC and Big Ten teams. With this victory, the Tar Heels' bench outscored the starters for the first time in the Hubert Davis era, indicating a deeper team performance. The team is now preparing for a challenging match against the No. 9 Florida Gators, hoping to build on this success.
