In a game the ‘Hoos should have won, the Virginia Cavaliers dropped a disappointing contest to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 63-55. With the loss, UVA falls to 4-3 in conference play and 10-7 on the season.
Scoring droughts are killer
Even with Franklin putting up big numbers, the offense went through three scoring droughts of four-plus minutes including a six minute one late in the second half which corresponded with a 13-point Demon Deacon run which sealed the game for Wake.
Reece Beekman and Kihei Clark’s lack of offensive production combined with the big men’s inability to put points on the board doomed the Wahoos.
