Virginia holds off No. 15 North Carolina rally; Final Score: 44-41

An absolute shootout in Charlottesville on Saturday evening as the Virginia Cavaliers and North Carolina Tar Heels faced off in the 125th edition of the South’s Oldest Rivalry. The Hoos managed to hold off a Carolina rally to come away with the 44-41 win over the No. 15 Tar Heels. Saturday night’s win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Hoos, and a losing streak against AP Top 15 teams that goes back to 2011.

Both teams’ offenses came out red hot, with each of the first five game possessions ending in points.
