The No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers force you to play perfectly. You can’t afford to make any mistakes because of how efficient they are. The slowest team in the country, in terms of pace, put up 82-points against Notre Dame inside Purcell Pavilion on Saturday.
Virginia’s efficiency is off the charts. Shooting 52-percent with two turnovers the entire game, you have to play flawlessly to stand a chance against them — something that a team as young as the Irish was not able to do.
Starting off the game, many questioned when Notre Dame would put up their first points — and then we waited a little longer.
