After back to back road performances against Clemson and Syracuse to give the Virginia Cavaliers’ faithful hope that UVA had figured out their offensive woes, those woes reared their head on Saturday against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
At half, the Hoos had shot just 42% from the field and were just 2 of 7 from three, but only trailed by six thanks to UNC’s poor shooting as well.
The second half was a completely different story with UVA going cold and UNC flipping the script on offense. Armando Bacot and Brady Manek combined for 29 points in the half alone thanks to Manek’s 4-6 shooting beyond the arc and Bacot’s 13 rebounds.
