Harrison Ingram's rebounding helps No. 7 Tar Heels in win over Virginia Tech
Harrison Ingram’s batteries were low — so much so that he had to go into low-power mode.
This is unexpected from Ingram, who has brought a jolt of energy to the Tar Heels this season. But in the past two games, he felt he wasn’t bringing it at the same level. So leading up to Saturday’s contest — one North Carolina needed to win, not only to stay atop the ACC standings, but to get back on track — Ingram made his recovery a point of emphasis.
“This week I had to refocus and kind of reset,” Ingram said.
He spent time in the ice tub and made sure to get good sleep. He needed to plug in and charge up. He did, and it showed in the Tar Heels’ 96-81 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday. He recorded a double-double (by halftime), finishng with 12 points and grabbing 17 boards. After sputtering as of late with losses in three of the last five games — most recently to Syracuse on the road Tuesday night — North Carolina got a much needed, comfortable win.
After MJ Collins scored the first five points of the game for the Hokies, Ingram punctuated a 10-0 UNC run with seven straight points. Ingram was an absolute force on the boards all afternoon. It felt like every missed UNC shot he was getting his hands on the basketball, trying to tap it out and create extra possessions — or, alternatively, earning a put-back complete with a roar.
“The ball finds effort,” head coach Hubert Davis said. “It just does. And he goes to the offensive glass every time. It’s not surprising that the ball ends up in his hands.”
For Ingram, it was just a matter of getting in the zone. As to which zone, that depends on the game. Sometimes shooting. Sometimes steals. And Saturday? Rebounding.
“I’m pretty good at anticipating where the ball is going to go,” Ingram said. “I just trust my instincts. They tell me to crash the boards every time.”
So, Ingram grabbed a lot of rebounds and the Tar Heels rebounded from a rough stretch with a win. Now North Carolina has a chance to head into its road clash against Virginia next weekend — after a week-long break — with the right kind of momentum.

Two dead after I-495 road rage incident leads to stabbing, Virginia State Police shooting – WTOP News
A road rage incident led to a shooting involving the Virginia State Police on Sunday on Interstate 495. Four individuals were also stabbed.
Two people are dead Sunday in Annandale, Virginia, after a road rage incident led to a shooting involving Virginia State Police on Interstate 495.
A release issued by the Virginia State Police said a trooper fatally shot a man after responding to a report of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 just before 1:30 p.m. at exit 52, near the Little River Turnpike.
The man, transferred to a hospital with serious injuries, has been pronounced dead. VSP said the trooper shot in self-defense after the man confronted him with a knife.
The trooper did not suffer any injuries during the altercation.
Officials found four stabbing victims at the scene, but only identified a 39-year-old woman and a dog. Both the woman and the dog died.
Early findings suggest the stabbings took place after a crash on the Capital Beltway. The crash remains under investigation.
The VSP’s release comes after the main lanes of the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, before Little River Turnpike, were closed to traffic for several hours, only recently opening the express lanes. Main lanes between Arlington Boulevard and the Little River Turnpike remain closed.
