Seth Trimble and Creighton Lebo OUT for Tuesday’s UNC-Clemson tilt

Seth Trimble and Creighton Lebo, two guards on the UNC men’s basketball team, will not be able to provide valuable minutes on Tuesday night.

The UNC men’s basketball team looks to begin another long winning streak as it hosts a struggling Clemson program at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

North Carolina will rely heavily on its starting lineup for production, but its bench has shown an ability to contribute in Year 3 under head coach Hubert Davis.

Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, they’ll be two players short on the bench against Clemson.

Seth Trimble (upper body), who has spent most of the year providing valuable minutes in relief of Elliot Cadeau, and Creighton Lebo (illness), the son of assistant coach Jeff Lebo who has appeared in just five games, will not suit up for Tuesday’s key, early week ACC tilt against the Tigers.

Missing Lebo will not hurt much. He is the only Tar Heel who hasn’t scored this season.

Missing Trimble, however, could create some extra pressure for UNC’s guard rotation of Cadeau, RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, Paxson Wojcik and Rob Landry.

Trimble averages 5.6 points per game, sixth-most on the Tar Heels, while grabbing 2.3 rebounds and shooting 42.9% from deep (third-best).

Let’s see how North Carolina utilizes its guard rotation when short its most key bench contributor.

UNC Basketball 2023-24 player preview: Creighton Lebo

Our UNC basketball 2023-24 season player preview continues with guard senior Creighton Lebo.

The North Carolina men’s basketball team is looking to bounce back from last season’s disaster with a new-look roster from the last few years.

After starting the season as Associated Press’s Top team, UNC ended the season with a statement on declining the NIT invite. The season quickly derailed and officially collapsed when reality hit that the program would not be dancing in March despite the magical run a season prior.

This year will be crucial for UNC; they have newly acquired talent that should help that cause. They also have returning experience players like senior [autotag]Creighton Lebo[/autotag] on the team to help bridge any gaps in Hubert Davis’s system.

Lebo might not have a lot of logged minutes on the court, but he has been with the Tar Heels through the good and evil.

We have started to preview the 2023-2024 roster, and that continues today with Lebo.
