Powell hit three triples in four minutes to fuel a 10-point lead in what became a 17-point performance for the rookie. With seven minutes remaining in the first half, forwards Ven-Allen Lubin and Jae'Lyn Withers double-teamed SMU's Samet Yiğitoğlu to force the turnover. On the fast break, Cadeau laid it in. The Mustangs called a timeout.

In SMU’s first basketball visit to Chapel Hill as an ACC member, the Mustangs arrived leading their new conference in scoring and 3-point shooting, but UNC had plenty to say about that Tuesday.

UNC will host ACC newcomer SMU for a late, 9 p.m. ET tip-off. North Carolina is coming off a close, 74-73 win over Notre Dame on Saturday, while the visiting Mustangs lost by 27 – at home – to Duke on Saturday.
