Malcolm Brogdon’s 21st shot of the ACC tournament final was a desperate three-pointer that cut Virginia’s deficit to six points against North Carolina in the closing minutes. The newly minted conference player of the year added one more field goal attempt for a career-high 22 against the Tar Heels, but it wasn’t enough.
An eight-minute scoring drought in the second half doomed No. 4 Virginia in a 61-57 loss to North Carolina. Virginia’s Evan Nolte and Anthony Gill also connected from beyond the arc in the late stages, cutting the margin to two with four seconds to go.
