ACC Roundup - UNC Falls, Virginia Prevails
COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND - NOVEMBER 13: Chance Mallory #1 of the Virginia Cavaliers celebrates during the second half against the Maryland Terrapins at Xfinity Center on November 13, 2026 in College Park, Maryland.
Key points
- After the game, UNC coach Michael Malone noted that Georgia’s Blue Cain (6-5), and Marcus Millender (6-1) both outrebounded UNC’s 7-1 Sayon Keita.
- He pointed out that UNC’s habits are not good right now, including not boxing out, “comical” turnovers, and not tracking Georgia’s shooters.
- After being down 38-31 at the half, UNC opened the second with a 29-13 run, then hit a 4 1/2 minute drought.
Williams summed it up succinctly: “We did not have the physical, mental, emotional stamina, endurance from start to finish that’s required.” Virginia has now won 10 of its last 11 games against Maryland, going back to 2010-11.
