UNC over VTech; Duke loses to Wake

After a series of close encounters, fifth-ranked North Carolina quickly dominated Virginia Tech at home, 92-53. The Tar Heels were playing their fourth straight game without sophomore stud Tywon Lawson.

UNC (24-2, 9-2 ACC) led from start to finish, shooting 50% from the field while outrebounding the Hokies, 54-24.

National Player of the Year candidate Tyler Hansbrough paced North Carolina with 23 points.

--------------

Wake Forest scored a monumental upset at home, beating second-ranked Duke, 86-73. The loss would most likely bring down the Blue Devils (22-2, 10-1 ACC) off of their number two ranking when the latest polls come out tomorrow.

Duke (10-1) still leads the ACC, with North Carolina just a game behind (9-2)
