Virginia faces brutal turnaround at UNC after loss to Duke

Posted Feb 10, 2019
Less than 48 hours after Saturday’s 81-71 loss at home to Duke, Virginia has the unenviable chore of having to play at North Carolina, which began Monday ranked No. 8 in the nation and tied for first in the ACC with the Blue Devils. Dodging back-to-back losses for the first time since the 2016-17 season will be a tall order for U.Va. heading into Chapel Hill, N.C. (Virginian-Pilot)
