January 24 at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, VA
ESPN
Excellent job by Virginia Tech to not get blown out of the building when it looked like it was about to, using an 18-3, first-half-ending run to only be down 39-34 at the break.
The game was tied three times over the final 8 1/2 minutes, including at 68-68 on a couple Kerry Blackshear free throws. But Associated Press No. 2 UNC didn't allow a field goal over the final four minutes to remain unbeaten in ACC play (7-0) with a 75-70 win.
UNC overcame another tough shooting night for point guard Marcus Paige (2-for-10 FG & 5-for-35 in his last four) mainly because Brice Johnson was outstanding (19 points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, three steals).
Six of Virginia Tech's first seven conference games have been remarkably close:
N.C. State - won 73-68 in OT
Virginia - won 70-68
(lost 82-58 to Duke)
Wake Forest - won 93-91
Georgia Tech - won 78-77
Notre Dame - lost 83-81
UNC - lost 75-70
