The struggles away from home continued for the Virginia men’s basketball team with an underwhelming 76-60 defeat in Raleigh against NC State. The Wolfpack put together a monster 45-20 run in the middle of a game which wasn’t as close as the final 16-point scoring margin suggests. The Cavaliers kept it close early, but offensive struggles paired with an impressive shotmaking display by NC State throughout the game led to another blowout road loss for UVA.
Five takeaways from another disappointing result for Virginia:
A vast shot-making disparity decided this game
Good jump shooting can hide a lot of problems.
