In Monday’s sole ACC game, Virginia went up to Syracuse and knocked off the Orange 67-62 for their seventh straight win.
It was a pretty tight game with Virginia unable to really shake Syracuse until fairly late. With 4:01 left, Virginia was up 58-57 but as you probably know, that’s when Tony Bennett’s system really shines. They’ve beaten you down physically and it’s very hard to match their energy, much less their patient discipline.
Jayden Gardner, who hasn’t always scored this year like he did last year, drew a charge on Jesse Edwards with 1:00 left, fouling him out.
