Tokoto added 10 points and three other Tar Heels chipped in eight apiece. Adam Smith paced the Hokies (8-9, 0-4) with 11 points, and Shane Henry scored 10 with nine rebounds. I thought we controlled the time of possession, which you have to do against a team as fast and as good as they are, Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams said. Its just really hard when you get beat as hard on the glass as hard as we do, but I thought that we were trying really, really hard. Virginia Tech was without leading scorer Justin Bibbs, who missed the game with a concussion. Virginia Tech stayed within striking distance early on, trailing just 19-16 following Jalen Hudsons 3 near the midpoint of the first half. But the Hokies went nearly seven minutes without a point after that as UNC created some distance. Dunks by Johnson, Tokoto and Isaiah Hicks kicked off an 11-0 run, which Jackson capped with five points. The Tar Heels led 34-21 at halftime and extended the lead to 17 points on back-to-back Johnson baskets with 11 1/2 minutes to play. Virginia Tech trailed by at least eight the rest of the way.
