There are three guaranteed things in life: death, taxes, and Virginia making another team play really ugly basketball. That is exactly what happened tonight in John Paul Jones Arena in UNC’s brutal loss against the Cavaliers, dropping the Heels to 7-5 in conference play and 12-7 for the season.
It’s difficult to even discuss what happened in games against Virginia, because we could almost certainly copy and paste game recaps from the previous years and it would be perfectly accurate. Tony Bennett’s pack line defense decimated everything that UNC wanted to do on the court, and his guys were able to knock down a lot more three-pointers than the Heels.
