“They made it tough. I didn’t do a great job trying to find different ways for our guys to maybe get some more space or get better shots,” said Virginia head coach Tony Bennett. “I don’t believe they stopped trying, and that’s the one thing. Only they can look in the mirror and say that for the most part, their effort.”
After Thursday’s game, Virginia is now ousted from the ACC Tournament, but the Cavs now wait for their postseason fate.
