Once again Virginia was led on offense by Beekman and McNeely. Beekman led the Cavs' scoring with 20 points, and McKneely added 12. Beekman also tied for a team first 4 assists. The team was a poor 4 for 13 on three point shots and a dismal 1 for 11 on free throw attempts. Ultimately Virginia, led by Dunn and Buchanan, won on defense. Dunn had 7 blocked shots, and Buchanan had 2. Dunn also had a team leading 9 rebounds, and Buchanan was second with 7. Wake had the advantage in made free throws (4 to 10) and three point shots (5 to 4), but Virginia mad 18 of 41 two pointers, and the Deacons only made 14 of 34.
The talking heads will say that it was not a pretty game, but a not so pretty win is better than a pretty loss.
