The Tar Heels blow a 20 point first half lead, trail by two in the second half before finding a way to grab a tough road win 75-70 over Virginia Tech.
It was all going so well.
UNC looked dominant at the outset and got early offense from both Marcus Paige and Justin Jackson. The two had five points each to pace UNC to an 11-5 lead. From there UNC used a dominant performance on the glass and balanced scoring to slowly extend the lead. The Tar Heel lead reached 36-16 on a Joel Berry layup with 5:50 left in the first half.
