Wake Forest tried to pull off a major upset of No. 2 Virginia on Saturday, but the Cavaliers held off the challenge for a narrow 61-60 victory. Among the storylines: Evan Nolte hit a pair of 3-pointers, but everyone else remained cold from downtown. The Double Bonus takes a look at that and more.

Quick Take With Evan Nolte

Virginia junior Evan Nolte fell out of the rotation for the most part near the start of ACC play as he struggled with his outside shooting. But he clawed his way back in and when Justin Anderson left the lineup due to finger surgery, it opened a door for Nolte to earn heavy minutes. Over the last three games, he’s played 78 minutes (26 minutes per game). The increased playing time seems to be helping Nolte’s shooting touch as he has made 4 of his last 8 3-pointers for a 50% clip. In his first 20 games, Nolte hit just 7 of 35 triples for a 20% clip.
