De'Andre Hunter, No. 3 Virginia Avoid NC State's Upset Bid in 66-65 OT Win
The No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers moved into a tie atop the ACC standings with Duke with a dramatic 66-65 overtime victory over the No. 23 North Carolina State Wolfpack on Tuesday at PNC Arena.
Virginia is now 19-1 overall and 7-1 in league play, while the Wolfpack fell to 16-5 overall and just 4-4 in the conference.
NC State came charging back from a 14-point second-half deficit to force overtime with two free throws from Markell Johnson, but Virginia overcame a season-high 16 turnovers and prevailed in the extra period. Johnson had the chance to force double-overtime with three free throws with 0.9 seconds remaining, but he missed the first.
