Just a couple of weeks ago, the Virginia Cavaliers kicked off ACC play in South Bend, IN against Notre Dame with a 67-56 win over the Fighting Irish. Since then, they’ve won two more games, with varying levels of success.
The Irish, on the other hand, have lost two more games although they took UNC to the wire in Chapel Hill, falling 66-65. The Irish led with under two minutes remaining but failed to get key stops and missed a golden opportunity to win the game.
Down by one with nine seconds remaining, that’s an awfully good look and you’d like your big man to knock that down to get a big win.
