Virginia has given North Carolina it’s fair share of troubles over the last few seasons. In the past three seasons, the Tar Heels are 2-3 against the Cavaliers, with both wins coming in the ACC tournament.

Final Score: 65-61 UNC over Virginia. This North Carolina team is better than the one that beat the Cavaliers in the ACC Championship last season. They have the leadership and maturity to stick with the Cavaliers and to pull out the win at Chapel Hill.
