WASHINGTON D.C. — It was a valiant effort, but it was too little too late for the Hurricanes, who fell to the Virginia Cavaliers 73-68 in the ACC Tournament semifinals at the Verizon Center on Friday night.
The No. 11 Canes (25-7, 13-6) trailed the entire game. As the contest came down the stretch, the Canes trailed 65-53 with two minutes to go. The Canes showed effort toward the end of the game that was non-existent for most of the night, as they were able to chip the UVA lead down to 71-68 with two seconds remaining.
Over the course of the season, the Canes proved that they can shoot the ball from beyond the arc, as they convert more than 36 percent of their threes.
