Social media reactions to UNC basketball's win over Virginia
The North Carolina Tar Heels have now won three-straight games after beating Virginia 81-66 on Saturday afternoon. The wins are coming at the right time for the Tar Heels as they are still on the NCAA Tournament bubble with a few weeks left in the regular season.
Saturday's win was a big one for the Tar Heels, taking care of business at home and doing so in a dominant fashion early on. The Tar Heels jumped out to a big lead early and really never looked back as Virginia only got to within eight a few times and that's it.
It was another good performance from Hubert Davis' team as they look to continue stacking wins going into March.
Before we turn the page to Monday's game against Florida State, let's take a look at how social media reacted to this win for the Tar Heels.
North Carolina has been playing incredibly loose and connected the last two games.Everyone finally looks like they're having fun.

Minnesota women's coach Dawn Plitzuweit gets 2-year contract extension with raise
Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota women's basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit has received a two-year contract extension that was approved Thursday by the university's board of regents. Plitzuweit is 47-29 over two seasons at Minnesota, including 13-23 in Big Ten play, with leading scorer Mara Braun missing much of them with foot injuries. The Gophers capped Plitzuweit's second year by winning the WBIT championship. They have not appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 2018. The new deal, which covers the next six seasons through 2031, gives Plitzuweit a raise of roughly 7% to bring her base salary to $900,000 for 2025-26, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune, with annual increases of $30,000. That's in the middle of the pack in the 18-team Big Ten, which sent 12 of them to the NCAA Tournament this year. Plitzuweit was hired away from West Virginia, where she spent one season, to replace Lindsay Whalen. Plitzuweit is the 13th head coach in the program's history. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP women's college basketball: and recommended
