North Carolina hosed Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Latta scored 26.

The Hokies played hard, outrebounding UNC, but the Tar Heels ran them into the ground anyway; UNC twice built their lead to twenty.

Tech have a road game coming up in less than 48 hours; fortunately for them, it's against Georgia Tech.

With a sub-.500 conference record in the nation's best conference, Tech could be the ultimate headache for the selection committee... again: last year they got the very last at-large bid.

One difference: their best nonconference wins this year are the same as their best nonconference wins last year-- Texas Tech and Liberty-- but both opponents look worse this year than last. Another: last year they beat Maryland in late February. This year they have one more ranked opponent... Duke.
