Mike Young and Virginia Tech are 14-10 (6-7 ACC) after an 83-75 victory vs. Florida State on Tuesday, which snapped a three-game skid. They’ll face the league-leading Tar Heels (19-6, 11-3) at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday on the ACC Network in the Dean E. Smith Center (21,750). Wes Durham and Dan Bonner have the call.

Center (22,090) on ESPN with Courtney Lyle and Debbie Antonelli on the call.
