Cormac Ryan’s hot shooting helps UNC end skid at Virginia

Posted Feb 24, 2024
Whatever it takes. That’s what Coach Hubert Davis said he got from No. 10 North Carolina to survive abysmal second-half shooting and finally leave John Paul Jones Arena with a victory for the first time since 2012. It’s never easy playing Virginia with its slow pace on offense and pack line defense, but the Tar Heels found a way in a 54–44 victory Saturday. (Tar Heel Tribune)
