No. 10 North Carolina sits atop the ACC, and the Tar Heels will look to keep rolling against Virginia on Saturday.

The Tar Heels are led by Armando Bacot, who has 81 career double-doubles, passing Malik Rose of Drexel for the seventh most double-doubles in NCAA history. Bacot also has 1,603 rebounds, passing NC State's Ronnie Shavlik (1,598) for second place on the ACC's all-time rebounding list. Bacot passed Marvin Barnes (Providence) and Shavlik for 15th in NCAA history in rebounds.

North Carolina is 6-1 when Bacot scores 20 or more points this season.

Harrison Ingram scored his 1,000 career point in the first half of a 96-81 victory over Virginia Tech on Feb. 17. He scored 682 in two seasons at Stanford and has 326 in 26 games as a Tar Heel.

RJ Davis has scored 20 or more points 17 times this season. Davis extended his UNC record for games with multiple 3-pointers to 23. Davis has 1,858 points; he recently passed current Tar Heels assistant coach Marcus Paige (1,844) for 12th in scoring at North Carolina.

Virginia is third in the ACC despite being routed by Virginia Tech, 75-41, on Monday night. The Cavaliers have still won nine of their last 11 games.

Virginia ranks first nationally in turnovers per game (8.2) and assist/turnover ratio (1.93), third in scoring defense (57.8 ppg) and seventh in turnover margin (4.7).

Reece Beekman, the only returning starter from last season’s ACC regular-season champion and NCAA tournament team, leads the Cavaliers with 14 points per game.
