Final from the Dome: Syracuse 77, NC State 65. SU let its foot off the gas a bit in the 2nd half but had enough of a lead built up to get the win. JJ with 26 points to lead the way. Free Throws are grrrrr, but they'll take what they hope turns into a Quad 2 win. https://t.co/001rG2jai5
Syracuse 77, NC State 65. Wolfpack goes from 5-1 in the ACC to 5-4 in 11 days.
Final: Syracuse 77, NC State 65 The Wolfpack (13-7, 5-4 ACC) will return to action on Tuesday, Jan 30 at home against Miami (9PM tip).
NC State isn't going away here, kids. The SU defense has let its foot off the gas and the Wolfpack are trying to chip back into this thing. SU 71, NC St 62. 1:52 remaining. SU is 16-of-28 at the #FreeThrowsMatter line.
Syracuse finally gets a defensive stop as DJ Burns misses in the lane. JJ Starling bangs in a 3 and SU leads 69-54.
Signs of life for NC State. DJ Horne cuts the Syracuse lead to 13 with a 3, seven minutes left to play.
NC State has scored on 4 straight possessions. SU has had a couple successful lobs to Benny Williams, but the Orange's lead is down to 59-45 with 7:58 left.
SU 52, NC State 34. Wolfpack continue to run in the mud shooting 25% (10-40). One of SU's best defensive efforts of the season. JJ with 19. Judah Mintz is paying rent at the #FreeThrowsMatter line where he is 11-of-14.
Syracuse is markedly better when JJ and Bell are making shots. Takes so much pressure off Judah.
Syracuse outscored NC State 23-4 to end that half.
Half: Syracuse 38, NC State 22. State went the last 8 minutes without a field goal. JJ Starling with 14 for the Orange.
NC State has more turnovers (8) and has allowed more offensive rebounds (7) than it has field goals (6). Not surprisingly, Wolfpack's getting run out of the (very large) building. DJ Burns is 1-for-6 off the bench. Syracuse up 38-22 at the half.
Syracuse leads 38-22 at the break. NC State shot 21%. The Syracuse defense was solid.
Chris Bell for 3 and an eight-point lead and Kevin Keatts wants a timeout. JJ Starling (12) and Bell (nine) outscoring the Wolfpack. Syracuse up 26-18, six minutes to go in the first half.
That is something we did not see much of last year: Chris Bell with a nice pull-up, contested 3 off the dribble. Very nice. Syracuse leads 26-18, Bell has 9 points and NCState needs time.
JJ Starling rips off the first 8 points for Syracuse and the Orange and NC State are tied at 8 at the first timeout. 15:37 to go in the 1st half.

Behind Ryan Dunn's double-double and a dominating first-half effort, #UVA rolled past Louisville, 69-52, for its fourth straight win. "It all came together at both ends. When you’re scoring and the defense is right, that’s what you hope for and look for." https://t.co/WrR4s3vtjB

VIRGINIA TIMEOUT: #Louisville 22, UVA 46 Cards offense looks better to start the 2nd, but any offense looks better than the 1st half by comparison. 16:35 left at the Yum #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
Louisville forces a UVa timeout, after cutting its deficit to 24 early in the second half.
Virginia 41, Louisville 13. Halftime. Hoos have tortured the Cardinals for years, but this is next-level stuff. There are no adequate excuses to cover this mess at Louisville.
HALFTIME: #Louisville 13, Virginia 41 That ties the lowest scoring half of the Kenny Payne Era (13 vs Texas Tech). Quite possibly the worst half of basketball of that era too, which I didn’t think was possible #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
HALFTIME: #UVA 41, Louisville 13 Ryan Dunn with 12 points and 8 rebounds. Reece Beekman with 7 points and 5 assists. Cardinals shot 20% that half.
Ryan Dunn really wanted to posterize Skyy Clark there. Instead draws the foul and knocks down two FTs. #UVA's leads Louisville 36-9 with 2:25 left in the half.
TIMEOUT: #Louisville 8, Virginia 32 Bad as a football score, worse as a basketball score. 4:43 to go in the half #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
Reece Beekman has 7 points and 3 assists. Ryan Dunn has 8 points and 5 rebounds and #UVA - on a 18-1 run - has opened up a 32-8 lead with 4:43 left in the first half here the Yum Center.
Louisville has made 2 field goals in 14 1/2 minutes, and taken 13 shots in that time. Virginia up, 30-8.
Ty-Laur Johnson volleyball spikes the ball out of bounds out of frustration for a tech. #Louisville down 27-8 #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
#UVA is an 11-0 run. That 3 by Jake Groves puts the 'Hoos up 25-7 here in Louisville.

TIMEOUT: #Louisville 4, Virginia 14 Cards first field goal of the day is a Ty-Laur Johnson fast break layup with about 12:40 to go in the quarter. Turnovers and missed defensive assignments killing UofL. ‘Hoos are 2-3 from beyond the arc with 11:56 to go #GoCards x @WHAS11
Louisville loses Isaac McKneely in rotation and McKneely knocks down an open 3. #UVA leads 14-4 with 11:56 left in the half.
Make James makes his free throws to get #Louisville on the board with 14:15 to go #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
Classic glass half-full or half-empty situation. Louisville goes to the first TV timeout scoreless, yes, but only down 8 to Virginia. Or something. https://t.co/JB3KNrMSs0
FIRST TIMEOUT: #Louisville 0, Virginia 8 Cards having issues getting through the Cavs zone. Mike James will head to the free throw line after the break to try and get UofL on the board #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11

Tony Bennett liked the fight in his "weebles," as #UVA squandered a 14-point lead but pulled out a key win in overtime against NC State. “We got wobbly and almost fell down. We popped back up and then made enough plays.” https://t.co/uQ2StJWD66
NC State 53 UVA 59: BY THE NUMBERS https://t.co/z7OOOVxlyo
NC State 53 Virginia 59: BOX SCORE https://t.co/tBgkSxq42z
Gritty team effort from #UVA secures 59-53 overtime win over North Carolina State. https://t.co/uQ2StJWD66
#UVa escapes N.C. State in OT, 59-53. Have a night, Taine Murray (11 points in 19 minutes). Cavaliers outrebounded Pack 54-32.
NC State pushed Virginia to overtime and threatened to end the nation's longest home winning streak but, alas, UVA wins 59-53 and the Wolfpack come to the Dome on Saturday off a loss.
FINAL (OT): Virginia: 59 NC State: 53 NC State claws its way back in the second half to force overtime, but falls short in Charlottesville. With the loss, the Wolfpack drop to 13-6 (5-3 ACC) and will look to avoid dropping its third straight Saturday at Syracuse. https://t.co/bDo0JbzGRq
#UVA has a 52-31 edge on the glass tonight. I had to read that three times. 'Hoos lead State 56-53 with 32.5 to play. Virginia has the ball under the far basket.
Jordan Minor stops DJ Burns potential game-tying shot but #UVA can't box out Michael O'Connell and we're headed to OT tied 47-47.
NC State is down 47-45 at #UVA with 26.2 to play and has the ball. Wolfpack is 2 for 8 from 3 tonight, FWIW.
#UVA has missed eight of its last nine shots, hasn't scored in over three minutes and now trails 41-40 against North Carolina State with 4:25 to play.
State on an 11-2 run and has trimmed #UVA's lead to 37-32 with 9:14 to play. Casey Morsell with seven points in the last three minutes.
Tony Bennett is fired up. Pops off the sideline and slaps Ryan Dunn an emphatic five after Dunn's hustle keeps the ball for #UVA. Hoos lead 33-21 over State with 15:49 to play.
Smart adjustment by DJ Burns and the State coaches. He's now putting up quick shots right after the catch against #UVA's Jordan Minor.
On Jan. 6, N.C. State averaged 1.21 points per possession in 76-60 victory over #UVa. In first half tonight, Pack scored .54 ppp. Cavaliers lead 27-15 at intermission.
This is the sixth time this season #UVA has held an opponent to fewer than 20 points in a half... https://t.co/8n201BTXuu
A very weird half, but you should be happy if you're UVA. Shooting just 35% with 7 turnovers and a .844PPP, but lead by 12, have 13 offensive rebounds, and six blocks. Dunn has 6 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks. Minor also with 6 points, McKneely and Beeks with 5 apiece.
HALFTIME: #UVA 27, North Carolina State 15 Ryan Dunn and Jordan Minor with six points each. Wolfpack shooting just 25% from the floor. Minor's defense on DJ Burns has been impactful.
NC State has missed seven of its last eight shots and #UVA, on a 6-0 run, now leads 22-14 with 1:38 left in the half.
Reece Beekman catches Dennis Parker Jr. sleeping on D and Ryan Dunn cuts backdoor for the dunk. #UVA leads 20-14 over NC State with 3:47 left in the half.
#UVa and N.C. State on pace to score in the high 80s — combined. Cavaliers lead 16-14 with 6:27 remaining in first half.
Jordan Minor's defense on DJ Burns has been outstanding so far. #UVA's center is gonna need some icepacks after this one.
Ryan Dunn with the block ... and he may have just lost a tooth. #UVA down 6-5 with 13:48 to go in the half against State.
#UVA ice cold to start this one. 1 for 10 from the floor and 0 for 4 from 3. The good news? Jordan Minor has been good one-on-one with State's DJ Burns so far. Wolfpack leads 6-3 with 15:46 left in the half.
