In a late night sleepy affair, the No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers got back to their winning ways with a comfortable 68-45 win over the visiting Wake Forest Demon Deacons. With the win, Virginia improved to 17-1 (5-1 ACC), while Wake Forest dropped to 8-10 (1-5 ACC).
Virginia’s offense was extremely balanced as five players hit double digit scoring in the game. Kyle Guy and Jay Huff led with 12 apiece, De’Andre Hunter and Mamadi Diakite each had 11, and Ty Jerome added 10. The Cavaliers shot 39% from the field as a team and 33% from three, and only turned the ball over six times.
