For nearly 14 minutes of game time and nearly an hour of real time, Virginia didn't score in a deflating 67-42 loss to Colorado State in the First Four Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio, a win that will allow the Rams to take on No. 7 seed Texas on Thursday.
DAYTON, Ohio -- For nearly 14 minutes of game time and nearly an hour of real time, the ball didn't go through
Colorado State advanced in the Midwest region and will face No. 7 seed Texas in a first-round matchup Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Colorado State held Virginia to five field goals and 14 points in the first half, the fewest for an ACC team in the first half of an NCAA Tournament game since Wake Forest scored 10 against Butler in the first round in 2001. Virginia reached 40 points with 1:59 left, eclipsing its own record for fewest points by an ACC team in the NCAA Tournament .
Added Beekman:"They did a good job pressuring the ball, being in the passing lanes and in the gap. I think we ran some good offense today, as well. The shots weren't falling."
