It was a contrast to North Carolina’s first ACC game last month against Notre Dame when Anthony scored 34 points. The Tar Heels committed a series of fouls on Virginia jump shooters, allowing the Cavaliers to extend the margin to 45-35 with 8:34 remaining. Both teams were coming off lopsided losses Wednesday night as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, with Virginia falling at Purdue while North Carolina dropped a home game to No. North Carolina has lost consecutive games for the first time since losing to Miami and Duke to end the 2017-18 regular season. In the first half, North Carolina shot 7-for-23 (0-for-8 on 3s) with eight turnovers.
