ACC tournament 2012: Virginia falls to N.C. State, 67-64 Fifth-year senior forward Mike Scott finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Harris added 18 points for Virginia. The Cavaliers (22-9) even got 10 points and 12 rebounds from sophomore forward Akil Mitchell, but it wasn't enough. N.C. State guard Lorenzo Brown made two free throws with 7.2 seconds left to provide the Wolfpack's final points. He finished with 15 points and eight assists. N.C. State forward C.J. Leslie tallied 19 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Wolfpack (22-11). Bennett called a timeout with just less than 12 minutes to play after Scott scored on a baseline jumper to cut Virginia's deficit to three. On a team with actual depth, that decision might have seemed questionable considering a media timeout would have been issued at the next stoppage of play. But considering Virginia has had to operate for the past few weeks with a seven-man rotation because of injuries, Bennett wanted to give his starters some extra rest. N.C. State plays a seven-man rotation, as well, but the Wolfpack do it by choice and prefer to play at a breakneck pace. The Cavaliers did well to keep up for most of the afternoon, but their collective fatigue began to show as the game progressed. Virginia's bench consisted of two freshmen. One (forward Darion Atkins) picked up two fouls in a 41-second span early in the first half and did not return. The other (guard Paul Jesperson) was supposed to redshirt this season, but was forced into action in late December after two players transferred out of the program. All of Virginia's starters logged at least 34 minutes Friday. N.C. State outscored the Cavaliers, 9-0, in bench points and got a combined 37 minutes out of its two reserves. Jesperson and Atkins combined to log 13 minutes. Virginia claimed a 61-60 win Jan. 28 at N.C. State despite being outworked on the boards, 42-25. The Wolfpack owned an 18-5 edge in offensive rebounds that night, which translated to a 17-7 advantage in second chance points. But on Friday, the Cavaliers effectively limited N.C. State's production on the offensive glass. The Wolfpack tallied one offensive rebound before halftime, at which point Virginia owned a 17-11 edge on the boards. Mitchell - who recorded one rebound the last time these two teams met - grabbed six rebounds in the first half to pace the Cavaliers. Part of the reason Virginia was more effective on the offensive glass in the first half was that N.C. State simply wasn't missing too many shots. The Wolfpack shot 59.3 percent before the break and owned a 22-14 advantage in he paint. N.C. State forwards C.J. Leslie and Richard Howell combined to score 18 of the Wolfpack's 36 first-half points. But it was N.C. State guard Scott Wood that put the Wolfpack ahead entering halftime. With 0.4 seconds left in the first half, Wood made a three-pointer - his first in five tries to that point - and was fouled by fifth-year senior guard Sammy Zeglinski. Wood, the ACC's top free throw shooter, made the ensuing attempt from the charity stripe to put N.C. State up by three at the intermission.
