The Virginia Cavaliers pulled off a dominant win over NC State this week, bringing the final score to 76-61. Now, the Cavaliers are riding a 12-2 overall record

The discrepancy in fouls that was the main culprit in the triple-OT loss at Virginia Tech was rearing its head again – the call on Onyenso was the fifth in the first 3:19 of the second half against Virginia; State, at that point, had been whistled for one.

Sam Lewis matched his career high with 23 points, Thijs De Ridder took over after halftime and No. 21 Virginia beat N.C. State 76-61.
