No. 10 Virginia Holds Off NC State, Advances to Semifinals
Virginia Cavaliers improved to 28-5 with a third win over NC State, shooting 54.8% in the second half to advance to the ACC semifinals, officials said.
- In the ACC quarterfinals Thursday, Virginia defeated N.C. State for the third time this season in Charlotte, sealing the win with late free throws.
- During the second half, the Cavaliers shot 54.8% and made 6 of 13 3-pointers, with Jacari White scoring 13 points to help pull away.
- After an early Wolfpack surge, N.C. State led before Virginia rallied to a 33-32 halftime edge as Paul McNeil Jr., Van-Allen Lubin, Malik Thomas, and Thijs De Ridder contributed key scoring.
- Virginia closed the game with late free throws after N.C. State cut the lead and forced a turnover, advancing to face either Miami or No. 24 Louisville in Friday's semifinals.
- Looking ahead, N.C. State remains poised for postseason play, with coach Ryan Odom earning the win on the same floor where he led UMBC's 2018 upset, and the Wolfpack expected to make the NCAA Tournament.
