ACC Roundup Virginia, Syracuse Lose

It was pretty obvious to anyone who gave it a minute’s thought that Virginia’s trip to James Madison was risky. Although Virginia Tech is nipping at their heels lately, Virginia is still the dominant program in the state and that makes them a big target.

And James Madison hit that target, winning 52-49.

And to add insult to injury, you know how Virginia typically plays brutal, shutdown defense, particularly at the end of games?

JMU hit a three with :22 left - and then Kihei Clark missed Virginia’s attempt at a tie.

We love Clark - he’s a wonderful player - but he’s a facilitator.
