CUTrevor 2024-02-03 11:31:45


The Tigers are trying to win two in a row for the first time since they began ACC play against a UVA team that has had their number for several years. The National Champion Men's Soccer team had its parade this morning and will be honored at the half.

Tip is at 2:00 on ESPN, and I'll have live coverage from Littlejohn right here!

UGH Hoos missed the front end but Clark missed the winning 3 at the buzzer back rim!



TIGERS LOSE 66-65.


Last 3 losses have come down to the final possession in regulation, and the last two have been by one point! One went to double overtime and the Tigers led with 3 seconds left in 2 of them. I'd rather have this happen now than at the end of the season, but it's maddening! Hopefully the law of averages will kick in, and they'll win all their one-possession games down the stretch. They are at UNC next, so they don't get a break! Let's hope the Heels beat Duke tonight.

I'll have post-game interviews and highlights posted in a bit!
