Following a bummer of a defeat at the hands of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, the Virginia Cavaliers bounced back to beat the Pittsburgh Panthers 66-61. With the win, there’s plenty to consider for the Wahoos before they head down to North Carolina to take on N.C. State.
A win is a win
This game wasn’t particularly pretty. Considering this team’s tendencies and its likely ceiling this season, this is the type of game that the ‘Hoos absolutely have to win. UVA is going to continue to experience scoring droughts which limit its ceiling. But, as long as the ‘Hoos can counter those with stretches of play with runs similar to what characterized much of the second half for the Wahoo offense.
