The win kept Miami (22-5, 11-4) within a half-game of North Carolina (22-5, 11-3) in the ACC standings; the Tar Heels, however, own the tiebreaker, having trumped the Hurricanes 96-71 on Saturday.

“We had our chances”, Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. It’s the buckets at the rim, the penetration, getting lifted and them going by us and getting to the rim. I’m sure Coach had their attention.

The Hurricanes ran into a category 5 storm themselves Saturday in Chapel Hill, and they don’t have long to clean things up. All five of the Cavalier losses have come on the road, though, they’ve fallen to George Washington and Duke among Top 50 teams, plus they have a pair of conference defeats to Georgia Tech and Florida State. “The way we lost to Carolina, we felt kind of embarrassed, and we wanted to come back and respond the way we did tonight, whether we on by a lot or won by a little”.

Malcolm Brogdon from Virginia might be one of the most underrated players in the country with his ability to dominate on both ends of the floor. He is sixth in the ACC in 2-point field goal percentage (60.3), third in true shooting percentage (64.7) and seventh in free throw percentage (86.4). Brogdon has 14 games of at least 20 points this season and he has climbed into 14th place on the program’s all-time scoring list with 1,626 career points.

Brogdon held his composure late in the game, making his last three-pointer with 2 minutes 2 seconds left and helping the Cavaliers cut a late eight-point deficit down to one.

Outside of the big night from Brogdon, no one else reached double figures for the Hoos.

Michigan State, 7. “I thought we left some points on the board with some finishes, we were right there. Malcolm had a terrific second half”.
