I’m not saying I believe in moral victories, but hypothetically if I did…#23 NC State’s 66-65 loss in overtime tonight to #3 Virginia would be the definition of it.
All heart.
That’s the only way you can even explain the Wolfpack taking the Cavaliers to Overtime.
On paper…it simply shouldn’t have been.
NC State shot 34.4% from the field, 26.9% from beyond the arch, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Virginia outshot them from all three regions, shooting 46.2%, 40%, and 73.7% respectively.
The Cavaliers out-rebounded the Wolfpack 39-35.
UVA led for 87.
