The Virginia Cavaliers weren’t able to get right at home after a miserable 34-point loss to Virginia Tech earlier in the week, as UVA basketball fell 54-44 to the North Carolina Tar Heels thanks to their all-too-common offensive struggles and a big night for guard Cormac Ryan. Only two players reached double figures for the ‘Hoos, who shot below 28 percent from the field and made just two three-pointers. A late comeback effort cut the lead to five in the final minutes, but the Tar Heels regained their composure and salted away the game at the line to hand Virginia their third loss in four games.
