Virginia has played at a lower level this season because they have struggled to shoot it at a respectable %. Yesterday shows how good they can be when they do shoot it at a high level.
Yesterday was a tremendous win for us because we withstood Virginia's best punch and held them off. We hit over 50% from the field, over 40% from 3-point land, made 88% of our free throws, and had only 5 TOs against one of the country's top defenses. I think it was one of our best performances of the year.
The Cavs outshot us from the field and 3-point line, played typical stingy defense, had two of its starters post career highs, and still lost by 7.
That was a great win by us because we fought off a tremendous 2nd half performance by the defending national champions to ice it away in the final minute....something, by the way, we've been very effective at lately if you haven't noticed.
