Virginia quickly expanded a 34-21 halftime lead. Jacob Cofie’s dunk pushed the advantage to 46-26 with 15:06 left.

The Cavaliers took their first double-digit lead of the game with an 11-0 run, capped by back-to-back 3-pointers by Elijah Saunders and Rohde for a 22-7 lead with 8:59 left. Saunders finished with nine points and a team-high-tying six rebounds.

Virginia’s largest lead in the opening half was 30-11 after McKneely’s three-point play with 4:52 remaining.
