Heels dominate Virginia

February 13, 2012

The No. 21 Virginia men's basketball team led No. 5 North Carolina by 3 with 16 minutes 50 seconds remaining, but the Tar Heels (21-4, 8-2 ACC) closed the game with a 33-12 run and finished off the Cavaliers (19-5, 6-4 ACC) Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, 70-52. Senior forward Tyler Zeller manhandled an undersized Virginia frontcourt all day, finishing with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals. The Cavaliers' star senior forward Mike Scott finished with 18 points, but missed eight shots on a day when he needed to be perfect to carry his teammates, who shot just 29 percent.

Cavs crush Wake 68-44

By Ashley Robertson | February 9, 2012

In the backdrop of last night's 68-44 thrashing of Wake Forest beamed Mike Scott's face - plastered on a fan's hand-crafted dollar bill with the slogan, "In Scott We Trust." After shooting a perfect 9-of-9 from the field while scoring 19 points, the senior forward demonstrated why he's earned John Paul Jones' faith. Scott kick-started a Cavaliers team, which had suffered a last-second 58-55 loss against Florida State Saturday, by immediately nailing two jumpers.

Seminoles stop comeback bid

By Matt Welsh | February 6, 2012

With eight minutes remaining in the second half, the No.16 Virginia men's basketball team trailed No.21 Florida State 42-29, but the Cavaliers battled back and in the last few minutes had a slim shot of forcing overtime. Virginia had the ball with two seconds left, but junior guard Jontel Evans couldn't make a three-point shot before the buzzer sounded and Florida State foiled Virginia's comeback bid, 58-55. Saturday's loss added one more heartbreaking defeat to the Cavaliers' 12-year winless streak in Tallahassee. In addition to stopping Virginia's three-game winning streak, the Seminoles (16-6, 7-1 ACC) won their seventh straight game and cemented their position at the top of the conference along with North Carolina.
