Brandon Robinson, Cole Anthony Out vs. Virginia Tech

North Carolina announced 90 minutes prior to tip-off against Virginia Tech that senior wing Brandon Robinson did not travel to Blacksburg and will not play due to persistent neck pain related to a two-car accident he was involved in on Jan. 11 in Chapel Hill. Point guard Cole Anthony also will miss his ninth consecutive game following knee surgery. (Inside Carolina)

Know Your Opponent: Virginia Tech

Head coach Mike Young may be in his first season at Virginia Tech, but he already is familiar with playing the Tar Heels after leading his Wofford squad to a 79-75 win two years ago in the Smith Center. Young's Terriers hit seven three-pointers in their win in Chapel Hill, and his first Hokie squad has been even more deadly from long range so far this season. (GoHeels.com)

Previewing UNC vs. Virginia Tech

The update on Cole Anthony is that there is no update. It's been five weeks since his knee surgery, which puts him in the 4-to-6-week timetable for a return. Roy Williams said he had not practiced as of Monday, which puts the odds against Anthony being available in Blacksburg. A return against Miami in Chapel Hill on Saturday seems more reasonable.

Hokies look to regain confidence against UNC

Just thinking about being in a situation similar to that of North Carolina coach Roy Williams this season terrifies Virginia Tech coach Mike Young. Williams has been without freshman guard Cole Anthony since mid-December. UNC’s troubles haven’t been limited solely to missing its point guard, but Young recognizes what Williams is lacking without Anthony. (Daily Press)
