UNC basketball travels to Virginia Tech hoping to snap a four-game losing streak and finally push Roy Williams over Dean Smith in the all-time wins column.
The Tar Heels beat Yale on December 30 to put Williams in a tie with his mentor Smith, but since then have gone winless in 2020. Since the start of the new decade, UNC has lost to Georgia Tech, Clemson and Pittsburgh (twice).
Star freshman Cole Anthony is also expected to miss tonight’s game as he continues to recover from surgery.

TV Schedule
The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network. As of today, Spectrum, Dish, AT&T U-Verse and DirectTV all carry ESPN and the ACC Network.
What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will not be available ESPN’s digital platforms through the ACC Network, but plenty of other UNC basketball games this season will be available for online streaming.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the new ACC Network.
YouTube TV prices at $50/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network. YouTube TV does not offer NFL Network or NFL Red Zone for pro sports fans.
Playstation Vue prices out similarly at $50/month and carries ESPN and the ACC Network. Vue also carries NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. A key note here: PlayStation Vue will be suspending its services beginning at the end of January.
Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
