Satisfy your Cavalier cravings here as UVa beat writer Whitey Reid blogs every day, no exceptions.
UVa trails Tech at the half
BLACKSBURG— Virginia leads Virginia Tech, 35-32 at the break.
In the first half, UVa followed its usual formula—scoring from Mike Scott and whatever it could get from anybody else.
Scott leads all scorers with 15 points—on 7 of 10 shooting.
Scott scored eight of Virginia’s first 10 points as UVa pulled to 11-10.
The Cavaliers took a 15-13 lead when freshman Paul Jesperson drilled a wide-open 3-pointer from the wing off nice penetration from Sammy Zeglinski.
But Tech responded with four straight 3-pointers—two from freshman guard Marquis Rankin—to take a 27-21 lead. The Hokies went up 29-21when Robert Brown, another freshman, found Cadarian Raines for a dunk off a pick and roll.
Virginia’s defense was able to hunker down, though. The Cavaliers held Tech without a field goal over the final three minutes and pulled to within three after a 3-pointer from Scott and a buzzer-beating step-back jumper by Jontel Evans.
