While there were other underlying factors to Virginia’s 63-55 overtime loss to Syracuse on Saturday evening at John Paul Jones Arena, nothing stood out more than the 3-point figures for both teams.
Syracuse got hot late and prevailed in overtime, 63-55, at John Paul Jones Arena Saturday, giving UVA its first losing streak since the Cavaliers fell in four straight ACC contests in February during the 2016-17 season.
