Carolina beats Va. Tech in thriller, 79-76
Posted Mar 14, 2009
Although Ty Lawson was obviously missed, North Carolina proved it could win without the ACC player of year. Of course, the Tar Heels still had Tyler Hansbrough – a former winner of the award. With Hansbrough making all the big plays down the stretch, No. 1-ranked North Carolina survived against Virginia Tech on Friday and advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament with a 79-76 escape.
