When the No. 6 Virginia Cavaliers needed him most, London Perrantes stepped up. The fourth year point guard managed to have both his least impressive and most impressive halves of the season on Wednesday night as Virginia overcame a slow start and big deficit to win 63-61 over Ohio State. The game was part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which the ACC won outright for the first time since 2008.

The deficit - which was their largest since the infamous game at Tennessee in 2013 - reached 16 points as the Buckeyes doubled up the Hoos, 32-16, late in the first half.
