[I]The Tar Heels played a sloppy first half against the struggling Orange, but they cleaned their game up enough to breeze past the visitors in the second stanza. Four North Carolina players scored over 17 points in its seventh ACC win of the season, but it still has to work on a few things before the trip to Louisville Saturday. Below is a look at the biggest takeaways from the ACC clash with Syracuse.

And Tuesday's 70-67 overtime defeat of Pittsburgh finally puts Virginia Tech on the board in ACC play and lifts the Hokies out of the conference's cellar. Adam Smith scored 26 points and Malik Muller added 22 for Virginia Tech, which was 1-23 since the start of 2014 against conference opponents. A few takeaways from the Hokies' victory ... [B]The Invisible Hand guided Virginia Tech to victory[/B]. Any time there's a chance to reference the father of modern economics, it must be taken advantage of. On this particular night, Smith played a major role in helping Virginia Tech cash in after nearly pulling off one of the season's biggest stunners two days earlier. It was Smith who swished a 30-footer off a kick-out with 0.7 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.
