The Virginia basketball team cruised to another ACC win on Wednesday night when it put the throttle down on Boston College and grabbed an 83-56 victory. UVA scored 40 points or more in both halves to reach 14-0 and remain one of two undefeated teams in the nation.

The Cavaliers have won 12 straight road games, which is the longest active streak in the country. UVA has won 11 ACC road games in a row and that’s the fourth longest streak in league history. The last road loss came last season on Dec. 5, 2017 at West Virginia and the last conference road loss came in the previous season at North Carolina on Feb. 18, 2017. The Tar Heels went on to win the national title that year.
