It was only 36-31 North Carolina, but as the Virginia team gathered in a huddle at the 15:12 media timeout, it was feeling a lot like the beatings that UNC put on the ‘Hoos last season.
The Heels were getting great looks on offense, were shutting down everything UVA was trying to do on the other end.
There was a freshman, Jalen Washington, in for an injured Armando Bacot, putting up Bacot-like numbers – 5-of-7 from the field, 12 points in 11 minutes in the first half.
And when Virginia used its traps to get the ball out of the hands of guards on screens, Carolina was able to move the ball around to get open shots on the perimeter.
And then on the offensive end, Tony Bennett tried everything he could – running guards off screens in the middle of the floor, going back to his favored mover-blocker on both sides, basic high screen-and-rolls.
None of it was working.
Until he went small.

Waynesboro City Council elects as its vice mayor a MAGA Republican who joked about a man attacking a Democrat with a hammer.
Vandals paint swastikas on a mural of a Black father and daughter of the Waynesboro YMCA.
And we’re supposed to pretend that these two acts, done a week apart, aren’t consistent with each other.

Literally until the last minute, minute and a half of last night’s AEW “Dynamite,” I was settled on not watching this weekend’s Ring of Honor “Final Battle” pay-per-view, for lack of general interest.
They still don’t deserve my dollars for the way they suckered me in.
We’re getting another FTR-Briscoes match on Saturday, this one a dog-collar match, so that’s the good news.
That it’s coming after FTR had to do a clean job to The Acclaimed in last night’s main event, and we didn’t even get an appearance from the Briscoes, whose inclusion on the pay-per-view was brought to us courtesy of a nonsensical cameo by the Gunn Club, is just another example of bad booking from one Mr. Tony Khan.

Credit Florida State, which came in with a 1-8 record, but had played fifth-ranked Purdue tough earlier in the week. The ‘Noles gave third-ranked Virginia everything it could before the ‘Hoos were able to finish off the 62-57 win in the teams’ ACC opener on Saturday.
