Good thing it’s not tournament time yet: Virginia hit 18-25 three pointers against Syracuse Monday night, including some that were completely ridiculous. This game was 34-32 at halftime and was still a four point game with 12:07 left.
Then....KABOOM.
Virginia outscored Syracuse 29-10 the rest of the way.
The ‘Hoos hit seven three pointers and got easy shots including a layup, a dunk, another layup, another dunk and a tip-in.
In fact, Virginia’s outside shots were probably easier than their inside points. Here’s a great question: in what game in ACC and NCAA history was the biggest gap between three point shooting and overall field goal percentage.
