MARSHALL (Ethan Hyman/Raleigh News & Observer) |
Current Tar Heel point guard Kendall Marshall had a career-high 22 points and 13 assists combined with ZERO turnovers as UNC posted one of their most impressive wins of the year. Marshall made seven of his eight shots including four out of five from behind the three-point line.
The Heels came out blazing, making three-pointers as if Wayne Ellington and Danny Green and snuck in the gym and dressed as Reggie Bullock and Harrison Barnes. In a furiously paced 46-41 first half, North Carolina was 7-14 from behind the arc.

Harrison Barnes added 20 points for the Tar Heels (24-4, 11-2 ACC), who extended their domination of their nearby rivals. North Carolina has won 12 straight meetings and hasn't lost to the Wolfpack (18-10, 7-6) in five years.
For the game, the Tar Heels shot 51 percent, including 10 for 19 from three-point range. N.C. State stayed even with UNC on rebounds (40-40), but only shot 41.7% for the game making just 3 of 9 three-pointers.

Mike Scott scored 20 points and Sammy Zeglinski had 13, all in the second half.
For the second game in a row, the Wahoos, with the Hokies’ help, held an opponent scoreless for more than eight minutes in the second half to rally. They did it to Maryland for 8:18 on Saturday, and to VT for 8:25 - starting at the 13-minute mark last night.
Virginia Tech (15-13, 4-9), which came in having played three consecutive games decided by a point, led 49-44 after Erick Green's floater with 13 minutes to play. When Robert Brown finally broke the drought with two free throws with 4:35 left, the Cavaliers had built a 56-51 lead.
CLEMSON 56, GEORGIA TECH 37 -- Shades of the Big East as the Jackets muster a mere 37 points...the fewest allowed by a Clemson team in an ACC regular season game.

Georgia Tech jumped in front 4-3 after a media timeout, but the Tigers responded with a 12-3 run. Clemson got threes from Young and Jennings during the run. Tech pulled to within three at 16-13, but a miss on a jumper and long rebound to Smith led to a break where he found freshman Bernard Sullivan inside for a layup.
Game over.
