Hubert Davis’ halftime challenge fuels rally for huge UNC win at Virginia

Posted Jan 24, 2026
It was the sort of victory that can flip the trajectory of a season, and it came because UNC came out swinging in the second half. The No. 22 Tar Heels found the energy, hustle, and determination that were absent in the first half to produce a signature victory the Tar Heels needed. They rallied from a 16-point deficit for an 85-80 win at No. 14 Virginia. (Tar Heel Tribune)
