UVa suffers worst-ever blowout at North Carolina

Posted Mar 2, 2006

Dave Leitao's team was trailing by 24 points and showing even fewer signs of life than it did in Saturday's loss at Clemson. Unfortunately for Leitao and Wahoo Nation, things only got worse. North Carolina, behind 26 points from senior David Noel - on Senior Night - crushed Virginia, 99-54. It was the Cavaliers worst-ever loss to the Tar Heels, and their worst in the ACC since a loss at Duke in 1999. (Charlottesville Daily Progress)
