The UNC basketball program is now riding its longest winning streak of the season at six after the Tar Heels squashed Virginia Tech at Blacksburg last night. The Tar Heels sparkled on both ends of the floor, shooting lights out from three and scoring 20 points from 12 Hokie turnovers.
North Carolina hasn't looked this fluid, dynamic, and frankly fun since last season. Will it all be for naught? UNC still remains firmly on the bubble, but a win over No. 2 Duke in Chapel Hill this Saturday would surely change that. Can the Tar Heels turn around their season at the last minute like they did three years ago when they ruined Coach K's Cameron Indoor Stadium send off? If they ever could, now seems like the most likely time. Let's look at some lessons learned from UNC's triumph over Virginia Tech.
