GalacticGiraffe+FollowUNC edges out Virginia in a nail-biterVirginia’s five-game winning streak came to a sudden halt as North Carolina pulled off an 85-80 win at John Paul Jones Arena. What stood out most was how UVA, usually strong in crunch time, struggled to find their rhythm late in the game—especially with communication on the court falling flat. Freshman Thijs De Ridder kept things exciting with 20 points and 8 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. With Notre Dame up next, can the Cavaliers regroup and get back on track?
