Virginia Tech: F Khadim Sy

Sy is a 6 foot 10 center from Senegal. In his last game against Clemson, he had five points and three rebounds in 12 minutes of play. With the Tar Heels ability to get bigs in foul trouble and crash the boards, Sy might have a big impact on whether the Hokies win the game.

North Carolina: G Seventh Woods

Sure the Boston College game was about the return of Tony Bradley, and he came to play with six rebounds in 11 minutes. No instead let’s focus on Seventh Woods. The freshman is still trying to figure things out.

However, he has shown flashes of athleticism. He also has done admirably at the point. He had two assists against Boston College. Hopefully, he can continue to give the Tar Heels decent minutes at the point.
