Virginia-N.C. State men's basketball
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Virginia, which had not forced more than 20 turnovers in a game all season, took advantage of 17 first-half N.C. State turnovers Sunday en route to a 78-60 victory at John Paul Jones Arena.
It marked the first time that Virginia (13-12 overall, 3-9 ACC) has won consecutive conference games this season, while N.C. State (15-11, 4-8) lost its fifth game in a row.
The Wolfpack finished with 25 turnovers, compared to nine for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers had a season-high steals, including a career-high seven by senior point guard Sean Singletary.
Singletary also had 21 points and six assists, game highs in both categories.
Coach Dave Leitao said his team's defense in the first half, when it held State to 18 points while committing only three fouls, was the most impressive of his tenure.
