Tigers wearing their road Orange tonight. Dawes is in the starting lineup for the first time in a while in place of Curan Scott, who hasn't played great the last few games.

Ugh Huff jumper makes it 7-0. Not the start the Tigers needed.

Hoos hit a 3 to go up 12. Tigers have just 2 points in 7 minutes! This is worse than a couple years ago when they scored like 15 in the first half.

MACK FOR 3!!! His first points of the game cut the lead to 7. He has to score at least 14 for the Tigers to win. He scored just 2 points at Wake after his career-high 32 last week.

Of course Key answers with a 3. Tigers trail by 10.

Ugh Key offensive board and put back. Tigers trail by 12 with a minute left in the half.

Simms misses to end the half. Ugly, ugly, ugly. The good news is the Tigers held the Hoos to just 26 points. The bad news is they only scored 14! That's right around the number they had at halftime up there a couple years ago. As usual, UVA has the No.1 scoring defense in the nation, and it's sure giving the Tigers fits so far. They are just 6-21 from the field and 2-8 from 3 with 7 turnovers. They better go on a run to start the second half because UVA is not a team you can rally against late in the game! Incidentally, UVA held Cuse to 15 points in the second half and 34 for the game. They also held UNC to 18 in a half, VT to 17, JMU to 11 and Maine to 12, so 14 first-half points is not that unusual when it comes to playing UVA.


TIGERS TRAIL 26-14 AT THE HALF.

Less than 12 minutes left, and it's 33-24 UVA. This might wind up being the lowest-scoring game of the year for two teams combined. Looks like the Tigers are going to score under 50 for the second straight game.

Neither team has scored in three and a half minutes. Lol UVA hasn't scored in 5 minutes.

CUTrevor 2020-02-05 19:23:33


Dawes and Key trade layups. Dawes has 9 and Key has 10 to lead their teams. Tigers trail by 9 still with less than 10 minutes left.

Clark makes one of two at the line. Amazingly, his only point of the game. Tigers still have yet to shoot a free throw! They trail by 8.

CUTrevor 2020-02-05 19:30:09


Tigers have had 6 shots blocked tonight. They've done a better job taking care of the ball in the second half, though. Just 2 turnovers after 7 in the first half.

Tigers finally go to the free throw line with 7:24 left! Simms makes one of two. He has 10 points, Tigers trail by 7.

Ugh Simms gets fouled but makes just one of two again. Free throws continue to hurt the Tigers. In a game like this you have to make them all! Tigers trail by 5. They are in the bonus.

Ugh Key with another enormous 3 to double the lead with 1:30 left. He's had a huge game with 17 points to lead the Hoos.

Dawes and Mack each miss from 3, and they're forced to foul. Key makes both free throws to push the lead to 8 with a minute left. It was a heck of a comeback by the Tigers, but they came up just short.

CUTrevor 2020-02-05 19:51:23


Newman hits a 3 to cut the lead to 5 with 40 seconds left, but it will take a minor miracle at this point.

Dawes makes a futile layup with 18 seconds left. Tigers trail by 6. They need a steal and a quick 3 to have a prayer.

Dawes has his 3 blocked by Diakite. Scott misses a 3, and that's the ball game.

TIGERS LOSE 51-44.

Much better second half, scoring 30 points, but just too little in the first half. Trapp was non-existent offensively with zero points after 2 points in 17 minutes at Wake. He scored a career-high 17 against Syracuse last week including the game-winner but has had a couple rough games since. The Tigers fall to 5-7 in the ACC and host Notre Dame on Sunday night, a game they should win.
