The Virginia Tech Hokies have a tough week ahead. After a disappointing five-point loss at Boston College Saturday, the Hokies were back on the road Monday at North Carolina. It was a makeup game from last month when Virginia Tech’s basketball program was in the middle of a COVID-19 pause.
Unfortunately for the Hokies, they came up just short, falling to the Tar Heels, 78-68. Virginia Tech is now 10-9 on the season, with a 2-6 record in ACC play. The Hokies are only a half-game ahead of Georgia Tech for last place in the ACC.
The Hokies were competitive in this one, leading at different points in the first half, but UNC got hot just before halftime and went into intermission with a 37-33 lead.
