WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Virginia Cavaliers (14-14, 7-10 ACC) scored a season-high 83 points in road win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (19-9, 11-6 ACC) on Wednesday night (Feb. 26) at Joel Coliseum.

Isaac McKneely’s season-high 27 points (10-14 FG, 4 3FG, 5 assists) led the Cavaliers, who shot 55.8 percent (29 of 52) from the field and drained 10 3-pointers.
