Despite their best efforts in a chaotic closing sequence, the Virginia Cavaliers pulled out a crucial 66-65 road victory over Clemson and improved to 8-3 in ACC play. Jake Groves remained on fire, pacing the team with 17 points, while Reece Beekman and Isaac McKneely added 14 apiece. Jordan Minor’s post defense limited PJ Hall to just 25% from the field, and while late free throw shooting woes gave Clemson an opportunity to win the game at the buzzer, Chase Hunter’s pull-up three hit the back iron and the ‘Hoos held on for their sixth consecutive victory.
