Virginia Tech: F Zach LeDay

Leday leads the Hokies in scoring and is second on the team in rebounds. LeDay doesn’t always lead the team in scoring but scores enough to have the best average. In his last game against Clemson, he had 16 points and five rebounds. At 6-foot-7 he can be a difficult matchup for the Tar Heels.

North Carolina: F Kennedy Meeks

Kennedy had a big game against Boston College. He finished with 20 points and nine rebounds and pretty much did what he wanted to on the inside. Meeks is at his best when he is catching it down low and then passing it to a cutter or an open shooter. This creates more space around the basket and that’s when Meeks can really be scary.
