The North Carolina Tar Heels are 22-6 on the season. They will not catch Duke for the ACC regular-season crown, but this is a team capable of winning the postseason tournament and making a deep run in the Tourney. Virginia Tech is 18-10 overall, but in the ACC, they have been mediocre at 7-8. I give the Heels the hat-trick here as they are better offensively, defensively, and off the glass. It is tough to break through on a team when they hold the edge in those three categories. Virginia Tech is just 3-5 in their last eight games and not playing well, while Carolina is 8-2 with a win over Duke in their last 10. Make the play on North Carolina.
