Jarin Stevenson’s Second-Half Surge Powers No. 22 Tar Heels Past No. 14 Virginia

Posted Jan 24, 2026
Through the first 27 minutes of UNC's win at Virginia, Jarin Stevenson's lone statistic was a rebound. No points. No assists. No blocks, just a single offensive board. With the Tar Heels down 16 in the first half, another road collapse seemed likely. Stevenson didn't attempt his first shot until 12:42 remained — a transition layup to cut Virginia's lead to one.
