UNC survives at Virginia Tech to stay atop the ACC

UNC is still the class of the ACC.

UNC (18-2, 7-0) headed up to Blacksburg to take on the cold and the Virginia Tech Hokies (12-8, 4-3). The Tar Heels survived a 75-70 scare from the Hokies to stay undefeated in ACC play and atop the conference. The Tar Heels were able to get the win thanks to a huge effort from Brice Johnson who had 19 points and 17 rebounds.

Neither team shot well at all with UNC shooting less than 38 percent from the field and VT shooting an even 40. The Tar Heels controlled the ball well though and only had seven turnovers compared to VT's 14. The Tar Heels also had 15 more rebounds than their opponent, which is always conducive to winning. UNC next plays Boston College on Saturday.
