Tar Heels Hold Off Virginia Tech, 79-76
Posted Mar 14, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough pumped his fists and sprinted off the court after another close call against Virginia Tech. Only one problem - he was heading toward the wrong tunnel. That was about the only thing that didn't go his way Friday. Hansbrough scored 28 points and made a disputed defensive stop in the final seconds as UNC avoided an upset at the ACC tournament, holding off Virginia Tech 79-76 on Friday.
