Hokies open ACC play tonight at UNC

Posted Jan 10, 2010
Tonight poses a new challenge [for Virginia Tech], even if Carolina did lose four starters from last season, including forward Tyler Hansbrough, the ACC's all-time leading scorer. The Tar Heels still favor an up-tempo pace that will challenge Tech's transition defense. They still have talented post players: 6-9 junior Deon Thompson, the only returning starter, and 6-10 sophomore Ed Davis, a likely top-10 NBA draft pick from Benedictine High.
