Virginia traveled to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts for their last regular-season road game of the 2009-2010 season Thursday evening. And they did exactly what they have done for the past seven games: they lost. The Hoos did not hustle for loose balls on the floor and did seem to want to be playing ACC basketball in front of a miserably listless crowd at the Conte Forum.
The Hoos were down 14 at the half to Boston College, and did not have an answer for BC’s scrappy hustle. Sylven Landesberg, who was a game-time decision to whether he would even play, started the game and was able to score 13 points. Sylven looked uncomfortable out there tonight and he really had no lift to his jump shot.
BC was led by Corey Raji who finished with 18 points on 6-12 shooting. The Eagles shot 45 % from the field and were 15-18 at the free throw line. The Eagles out rebounded Virginia 35-31, and UVA only made five free-throws tonight.
Virginia saw the re-emergence of Mike Scott who finally got out of his total funk as he scored 13 on 6-8 shooting. Sammy Zeglinski, Jeff Jones and Jontel Evans did not score a point between them. The Hoos were 2-13 from three point land tonight, and only had two steals on defense.
The Hoos finish their regular season Saturday as the Maryland Terrapins come to town. Anyone else ready for lacrosse and baseball season?
