(5)North Carolina 75, Virginia 74

In another surprisingly close game, North Carolina just edged spirited Virginia, 75-74, on the road. With their respective seasons going the opposite way, Virginia wasn't expected to keep it close.

Undoubtedly playing their best game of late, the Cavaliers just couldn't go over the hump at the endgame. They've lost 9 out of their last 10 games, and are at the bottom of the ACC standings with a 1-9 record.

Fifth-ranked North Carolina (23-2, 8-2 ACC) showed resiliency under a hostile environment, making key shots down the stretch.

All-American Tyler Hansbrough topscored for the Heels with 23 points, including a critical shotput-type baby hook with 21 seconds left.
