Large W for #UVa at Boston College, 72-68. Cavaliers scored 45 points in second half, one more than they did entire game Saturday against UNC.

It wasn't pretty (when is a UVA basketball game ever pretty?), but the Cavaliers got the win they absolutely had to have at BC tonight.
Best case scenario for #UVA. It's Isaac McKneely going to the line for two shots, clinging to a 70-68 lead with 25.1 to play.
Another shaky night at the free-throw line has #UVA sweating this one out down the stretch. Reece Beekman just hit one of two and the 'Hoos are 12 for 18. BC meanwhile is 14 of 17 at the line, led by Quinten Post's 11 for 11 effort. Virginia leads 64-60 with 2:47 to play.
Back-to-back 3s by Isaac McKneely, one from Jake Groves and one from Andrew Rohde. #UVA found its stroke just in time. It leads Boston College 63-55 with 3:19 to play. Tony Bennett isn't convinced Blake Buchanan touched post on that 3 attempt, but Buchanan was called for the foul
#UVA sends out Beekman, McKneely, Rohde, Groves and Buchanan to try to fight back ... https://t.co/ggtyqjZJHO
