Cavaliers survive ACC opener against Miami

By Ryan Taylor | January 3, 2015

The No. 3 Virginia men’s basketball team survived its first scare of the season in its ACC opener against the Miami Hurricanes (10-4, 0-1 ACC). Struggling at the line came back to haunt the Cavaliers, who blew an 18 point halftime lead and were forced to play two overtimes to overcome the Hurricanes. Virginia (13-0, 1-0 ACC) shot under 70% from the line which allowed Miami to claw its way back into the game.

By Jacob Hochberger | December 3, 2014

Virginia (22-2) faces an unfamiliar foe in the semifinals as they square off against No. 1 seed Texas A&M (22-2-2), which has had an impressive run to the final four, defeating powerhouses Notre Dame and Penn State.
