CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Kyle Guy scored 17 points, London Perrantes finished with 13 points and No. 23 Virginia used a small lineup to neutralize No. 5 North Carolina’s size in a 53- 43 victory Monday night.

Guy connected on 5 three- pointers for Virginia ( 209, 10- 7 Atlantic Coast Conference) and Perrantes hit three, continuing to emerge from a shooting slump that contributed greatly to a four- game losing streak for the Cavaliers.

Joel Berry II scored 12 points to lead the Tar Heels ( 25- 6, 13- 4), who had their fourgame winning streak snapped.

The Cavaliers opened up a 33- 23 lead early in the second half, then saw North Carolina score the next six points to pull to within 33- 29. But Devon Hall hit two free throws and Guy followed two Tar Heels misses with a three- pointer. After the Tar Heels climbed to within 40- 39 with 9: 26 left, Perrantes made back- to- back three- pointers for Virginia to put the Cavaliers back in control.

In other men’s top 25 games, Johnathan Motley scored 19 of his 23 points after halftime and No. 11 Baylor won its home finale 71- 62 over No. 10 West Virginia. Jo Lual- Acuil added 11 points and 10 rebounds for Baylor ( 24- 6, 11- 6 Big 12), which ended the game with a 30- 13 run over the final 9 minutes.
