Tar Heels Grind Out a Win Over Virginia Tech, Could Move to No. 1
Posted Jan 24, 2016
The Tar Heels came into Cassell Coliseum on Sunday riding a 10-game win streak–then opened up a 20-point lead on the Hokies in the first half. But after a furious Virginia Tech rally, the Tar Heels were forced to hang on for a narrow 75-70 victory. It was a comeback that quickly reminded Roy Williams’ team that they were, in fact, on a business trip.
