CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Virginia may finally get some respect. The Cavaliers dominated then-No.13 West Virginia for the final three quarters of the game en route to a decisive 48-22 victory in the inaugural Continental Tire Bowl on Dec.
After opening up a first half lead of as many as 20 points, Virginia (10-3, 1-1 ACC) held off two second-half surges by North Carolina (9-5, 1-1) and won its home ACC opener, 79-72, Saturday. Junior guard Todd Billet scored 17 of his game-high 24 points in the first half behind 5-of-7 shooting on three-pointers as Virginia exploited a UNC zone in the first half, shooting 57 percent and opening up a 48-30 halftime lead. "We made a choice to go zone" defense, UNC coach Matt Doherty said.

BLACKSBURG -- Saturday's loss to rival Virginia Tech could not have been more deflating for both the Cavaliers and the Virginia fans who made the long trip to Blacksburg and watched the game in the snow and driving wind.
