The Virginia Cavalier’s basketball team grinded out a 72-68 win on the road against the Boston College Eagles tonight. Virginia was coming off of back-to-back losses and losses in three of their last four games, so tonight’s win was necessary for positive momentum. The first half was a slow-scoring slugfest, but both offenses got rolling in the second half scoring 45 points apiece. Ultimately, UVA’s 11-0 run to turn a 51-48 deficit into a 59-51 lead was the difference in the game.
The win propelled the ‘Hoos to 12-6 in the ACC, and more importantly it solidified their spot (for now) in the NCAA Tournament field.
