The UNC men’s basketball program will host the Virginia Tech Hokies as they look to bounce back from their disappointing road loss to Syracuse.
Zone defense once again played a role in disrupting UNC’s offensive attack, as teams have been able to slow down the Tar Heels fast-paced offense. On the flip side, the Tar Heels defense has also been a concern, with Syracuse shooting a ridiculous 62% from the field in that one.
Thankfully, UNC will be back home, where they have been dominant, going 10-1. However, their last time playing in Chapel Hill, they couldn’t overcome Clemson’s attack, losing 80-76.
The Tar Heels will have a lot to prove in this one despite the great success they had this season. They will need to show the ability to beat zone and prove it’s more of a myth than a kryptonite.
