No. 14 North Carolina 102, UAB 84: North Carolina (6-2) scored 67 second-half points to pull away from UAB (4-4) in Chapel Hill.

The Blazers are in their first year with coach Jerod Haase, who played for Roy Williams at Kansas and was an assistant under Williams at Kansas and North Carolina from 1999-2012.
Richmond 62, Wake Forest 60: Kendall Anthony made a three with 1:09 left to break a 54-54 tie, and Richmond (6-2) made 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch to get a home win over Wake Forest (3-4).

Richmond F Derrick Williams had a game-high 26 points and made 13 of 15 free throws.
Star of the night: Green, Virginia Tech. With his team trailing by four points at halftime, Green came out and scored his team's first 10 points to keep pace with Oklahoma State. Then down the stretch, he hit key free throws to ice the game and give coach James Johnson the biggest win of his short head coaching career.
Inside the box score – 3 numbers worth a second look
21 -- Green has scored at least 21 points in each of Virginia Tech's first seven games. He is averaging 24.9 points while shooting 51.6 percent. Last year, he shot just 43.8 percent from the floor. Green has also made more plays for his teammates this year, averaging 4.4 assists per game compared to 2.8 a season ago.
3-0 -- Miami is now 3-0 since Scott has become eligible from a suspension that dated back to last year. The Hurricanes are obviously a much different team with him on the floor. Scott is averaging 15 points, six rebounds and three assists per game since his return.
7 -- Mitchell has scored in double figures in seven of Virginia's eight games this season. The Cavaliers were worried about how they were going to replace All-ACC big man Mike Scott this year, but Mitchell and teammate Darion Atkins have played very well down low.
Saturday's quote of the day: Virginia Tech's Green, according to Mark Giannotto of the Washington Post: “I think people were sleeping on us before the season because of the new coaching change and the players that left, but hopefully we showed people we can play with anybody and that we're a great team.”
