One of the more underrated Tech rivalries of the past decade is set to renew on Saturday as the Jackets host the North Carolina Tarheels. Tech leads UNC 30-20-2 overall, but throughout the last five years, UNC has led 3-2.
Under the presence of leadership from head coach Mack Brown, who returned to UNC this year after coaching at the school from 1988-1997, the Heels have found unexpected success in their first season. North Carolina opened the season 2-0 with wins over a highly-touted Miami team and South Carolina. Despite dropping consecutive close games to Wake Forest and Appalachian State, the Heels came away with a moral victory against No.
