But Trimble recently reemerged as a top threat for the Tar Heels (14-10, 7-5 ACC), most notably during crunch time in Saturday's 67-66 home win over Pitt, posting a fourth straight double-digit outing with his 15 points in 35 minutes.

Seth Trimble is now averaging 12.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals. and 1.2 turnovers across 30.9 minutes per game as a full-time starter when healthy.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound high-riser is shooting 42.7 percent from the field, 29.2 percent from three, and 83.3 percent at the line.
