What's this?

UNC is a really tough defensive matchup for VT

I agree it's not offensive, if we shoot 40% from 3 we'd probably win, the problem is we can matchup on the defensive end which really hurts our offense because we have to expend so much effort.

Nobody on the team is able to guard Love or Bacot 1 on 1, so it's really easy to catch us in rotations. Manek and Davis are both really good shooters as well, it would be one thing if it was just Love that could shoot, but having to double 2 guys to stop them leaves a shooter open and they don't usually miss.

When UNC loses it's because they physically get punched in the mouth and don't respond, nobody on our team has the ability to do that. Alternatively you can beat UNC by getting out and running and tire them down late because they have no depth this year, but that's runs completely counter to our philosophy so you'll never see us do that.
