The Wahoos led by as many as seven points in the 1st half in Chapel Hill, and trailed 35-32 at halftime.

Head coach Tony Bennett says, "As the game wore on we got tired, and it affected us mentally with our execution. We got...'Soft' isn't the right word, but we didn't have the same kind of toughness and focus that was required, and we had early, and we have to learn to play in that situation."
Mike Scott led UVA with 18 points and 6 rebounds, while Jontel Evans chipped in 12 points.
Virginia returns to action Tuesday, as they play at Clemson at 7pm.
