At a place where Virginia used to thrive on making it impossible to run, UNC changed Saturday's game by pushing the tempo.

The 85 points are the most by UNC in this building, which opened 20 years ago, and the most at UVA since 2005. The 16-point deficit is the most an opponent has ever overcome in winning here since JPJ opened in 2006. (TarHeel247)

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

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.
