North Carolina vs. Virginia Tech Basketball Preview

Posted Mar 11, 2021
Virginia Tech doesn’t have a player taller than 6-foot-9. Garrison Brooks is questionable for UNC, so it may be up to Armando Bacot, Walker Kessler, and Day'Ron Sharpe to replicate their performance on Wednesday night against the Irish. The Hokies play an aggressive style of defense that could frustrate the Tar Heels with double teams in the post. (Inside Carolina)
