Like the Hoos on Thursday night, the Wolfpack are coming off a devastating loss to their in-state rivals, a 74-55 defeat at UNC in a game that was even more of a blowout than the final score indicates. Can the Cavs pull out a tough road win in a game that could end up determining which team finishes in the top 4 of the ACC and maybe even which team makes the Big Dance?

Evans Improves Offense For UVa

Image: Jontel Evans Virginia guard Jontel Evans knew he needed to expand his offensive repertoire in order to combat defenses that wanted to focus their attention on UVa's other players. Too often during his sophomore season, defenders would drop off of him to help on other players when he didn't have the ball and they would sag back to cut off driving lanes that lead to drive-and-kick opportunities when he had the ball. While those tactics have continued this season, the junior's offseason work is paying dividends more frequently for the Hoos' offense.
