Jonathan Powell Earns Extended Run, Energizes UNC in Victory Over VT

Posted Mar 1, 2026
Jonathan Powell missed just one shot in UNC's 89-82 win over Virginia Tech, going 4-for-5, all from beyond the arc. Beyond the shot-making, Powell's defense made life difficult for the Hokies. He also added five rebounds and an alley-oop to Henri Veesaar, finishing plus-12 in 23 minutes. "I think it's more than my shooting as to what I can bring to a team." (TarHeel247)
