It has been with double-digit rebounding margins in three of those games. The Hokies will hope to benefit from an energized campus for tonight’s game. It has been designated a “black-out”. Fans are encouraged to wear black.North Carolina Looks Like They are Hitting Their Stride
North Carolina was a 80-66 winner in its last match at home against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They covered the -13.5-point spread as favorites. North Carolina has established itself as one of the country’s top rebounding teams. Even without a major post presence. In Saturday’s victory against Georgia Tech, the Tar Heels held a 46-25 rebounding advantage. That resulted in a season-high 26 second-chance points. It helped offset 42.2 percent shooting from the field. The mark was the second-worst shooting percentage in a North Carolina victory this season. Joel Berry was one of the players with shooting woes. He was 3-for-17 from the field Saturday. Berry made a career-high nine free throws. He matched a career-best with eight rebounds.Recent Form
