CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- A tremendous top-10 matchup lived up to the hype on Monday, as No. 4 Virginia went into No. 8 North Carolina's house and came out with what could prove to be a pivotal road victory come Selection Sunday.
UVA 69, UNC 61.
The game was closer than that throughout much of the night -- UNC took the lead in the second half and was threatening to win, leading by seven points with 8:58 to go -- but Virginia made stops and big shots down the stretch. Kyle Guy's 3-point shot, that gave Virginia a 67-61 lead with 70 seconds to go, clinched a big-time win for the Cavaliers.
Virginia remains undefeated this season against teams not named Duke.
For UNC, the game may have been different had freshman Coby White's 3-pointer gotten off in time. Had this bucket gone in, UNC would have led 62-59.
Instead, North Carolina finished with 61 points.
The win keeps Virginia on the No. 1 line in CBS Sports' bracketology. North Carolina is now 19-5, while Virginia moves to 21-2. We'll have more shortly.
