UNC moves past Hokies in overtime

Posted Feb 2, 2013
UNC didn't get off to its best start Saturday afternoon against Virginia Tech but managed to win in overtime 72-60 to secure their fifth ACC victory of the season. The story of the game, aside from UNC's slow start was UNC's ability to slow down Virginia Tech's Erick Green. Green came into the game as the NCAA's leading scorer. He was held to just 16 points.
