No. 7 North Carolina needed to get things right and so the Tar Heels made good use of veterans Armando Bacot and RJ Davis on Saturday. Bacot had 25 points and 12 rebounds and Davis scored 20 points as North Carolina led most of the way in a 96-81 victory against Virginia Tech. Cormac Ryan scored 16 and Harrison Ingram added 12 points and 17 rebounds for the Tar Heels (20-6, 12-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who lost three of their previous five games.
