Virginia rides balanced attack and Onyenso's defense to beat NC State in ACC quarters
Virginia overcame a slow start to defeat NC State 81-74 in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals, riding a second-half shooting surge (12-of-25 from three) and a season-high eight blocks from Ugonna Onyenso after Johann Grunloh fouled out. The Cavaliers received balanced scoring from six players (including Jacari White, Sam Lewis, and Malik Thomas), and a late offensive rebound by Thomas sealed the win. UVA improves to 28-4 and advances to the ACC semifinals against either Miami or Louisville.
