1/18 VT @ #15 UNC, 6:30pmEST (ESPNU)

1/22 VT vs #12 Notre Dame, 7pmEST (check local TV listings)


The brutal stretch continues this week as we face two top 15 programs. Needless to say, things could get really ugly.

I missed that and didn't find out until I turned the game on at halftime. Somehow with Bibbs out and Pierce and Henry in foul trouble, its only a 14 pt UNC lead with 10 mins left. Granted I fully expect to lose, but I'm like "how is it not 30?"

We had it down to single digits with about 2 minutes left, but ended up loosing by 15. Like you I can't believe it wasn't more. Missing our leading scorer and we were out rebounded 49-22.

Final Score: UNC 68, VT 53

I had it on the laptop but I honestly didn't pay that much attention once I saw Bibbs was out (watching AFC title game). From what I saw, the lead mostly stayed around 12 to 15 pts, much like the last game. I will say its a damn shame this team isn't at full strength (no Bibbs, Joey being suspended) because they are competing like hell. If we were at full strength with this kind of effort, these games would certainly be a lot closer, and maybe even some wins.

JVZ is gone. Our leading scorer, Bibbs, is still out. We are down by 10 at halftime to the #8 team in the country.

I saw that Bibbs was still out with his concussion before the game and didn't even bother to turn it on. He's our best player. No matter how hard the team plays, we won't win any games without him. Heck, we might not win any with him.

EDIT: Just checked the score. Down 21 with 7 left in the game
