The Basics
No. 1 North Carolina (15-1, 2-0) won its 13th straight game and its second-straight ACC victory over Virginia, 79-69 on Wednesday. The Tar Heels will travel to Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon to face Virginia Tech (12-4, 2-0), who have won eight of its last 10 games and three straight. The Hokies are coming off a 74-51 victory against UNC-Greensboro in which they hit 10-of-15 three-pointers.


Game Time: North Carolina at Virginia Tech, 3:30 p.m.


Last Time: Reyshawn Terry scored seven points in the final 7:37 to spur the Tar Heels to a narrow 64-61 victory. Tyler Hansbrough led the Tar Heels with 20 points. The only other Tar Heel to score in double figures was David Noel, who had 10 points despite being plagued by foul trouble and playing just 19 minutes. Reyshawn Terry added nine points, seven rebounds and two blocks and Danny Green had seven points. Four Virginia Tech players hit double figures as Wynton Witherspoon led the Hokies with 17 points and added three steals. Zabian Dowdell added 13 points. Jamon Gordon had 12 points and three steals, and Deron Washington had 11 points two blocks, four steals and two assists.

So all of my friends that are duke fans (yes Duke and UNC fans can be friends, when basketball season is overwith that is) say that UNC has no chance to win this game. I disagree. VT is a very good team who played a not up to par Duke team. I'm not discrediting VT, but I believe UNC will win this. This game is going to be at Virginia Tech, which means that it will be tougher to win, but either way it will be a great one as always in the ACC.

On a side note, Wake Forest and NC State play tomorrow. Is it possible that these two teams could tie. They both suck. Or they should just say forget it and stay home and save themselves the embarrassment.
