The Virginia Cavaliers Men’s Basketball team’s eight-game winning streak ended with a resounding 74-63 defeat against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Tuesday. The ‘Hoos were probably due for a loss, and Pittsburgh’s certainly a much better team than the national media is giving them credit for. That being said, the Cavaliers have lost their form a bit over the past two games, forfeiting 76 points to Florida State and then 74 to Pittsburgh, the most points allowed in any two-game stretch all season.
As Virginia enters the final stretch of games before tournament play, they need to tighten things up, and build momentum that they can carry into March.
