Virginia Tech has been inconsistent in ACC play, sitting at 7-8 in the league and 18-10 overall. The Hokies are 11th in the conference and slotted in the “next four out” tier in most NCAA Tournament projections. With limited chances left to bolster their resume, their urgency could make this a difficult matchup for North Carolina (22-6, 10-5 ACC).
Three Hokies, in particular, will draw North Carolina’s attention: forward Amani Hansberry(14.7 points, 7.7 rebounds), guard Ben Hammond (12.6 points, 3.2 assists) and guard Jailen Bedford (11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds), each capable of providing efficient scoring and perimeter shooting.

UNC has gained more stability with Henri Veesaar back in the lineup. Veesaar’s return, along with Seth Trimble’s performance over the last game and a half, has UNC’s offense rolling again. Virginia Tech should make things interesting for a stretch, but the Tar Heels ultimately come out on top.
