CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — For a guy who is arguably the best two-way college basketball player in the entire country, Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon looks awfully bored more often than not.
The Cavaliers faithful at John Paul Jones Arena were in an absolute frenzy as Brogdon poured in 13 of his game-high 26 points within the first eight minutes of play, but the star inciting the riot was calm, cool and collected throughout No. 3 Virginia's 79-74 win over No. 7 North Carolina.
It was a game of utmost importance to get Virginia back to within one game in the loss column of a third consecutive ACC championship, and the Cavaliers got a huge night from their star.
