Tonight's matchup: Collapsing Cavs vs. Terrible Tar Heels

Posted Oct 19, 2006

It probably looked better on paper. Most games played in prime time on Thursday nights match teams that are going somewhere, but the schedule-maker miscalculated when setting this week's slate. North Carolina will arrive at Scott Stadium on a three-game losing streak and having been beaten at home, 37-20, by South Florida last weekend. The Tar Heels have been outscored 214-105 this year and have lost 12 straight at Virginia since 1981. (Staunton News Leader)
