Now in a rhythm with three wins in its past four games, North Carolina will look to continue climbing the Atlantic Coast Conference standings on Saturday afternoon when the Tar Heels host Virginia in Chapel Hill, N.C. With five games left in the regular season, North Carolina (16-11, 9-6) sits two games out of the No. 4 ACC seed -- a coveted position because the top four teams will earn double byes. Three of the Tar Heels' final contests will take place at home, where the team is 10-2 this season. Virginia (13-13, 6-9) suffered an 80-62 home loss against third-ranked Duke on Monday that snapped a three-game winning streak.
