After a few days off to rest following their 82-81 victory over Clemson last Sunday, the Virginia Tech Hokies (15-4, 4-3 ACC) are back in action on Thursday evening with a steep road test against #9 North Carolina (18-3, 6-1 ACC).
After a fairly uneven start to conference play, which is to be expected this year especially in a very tough ACC, the Hokies have bounced back nicely over the last couple of games to get back over .500 in league play.
One major reason why has been the continued consistency of sophomore wing, Chris Clarke. Whether it be as a starter, or off of the bench like in the last couple of games, Clarke’s play on both ends of the court has been paramount to the team staying competitive in their tough ACC schedule.
