Against Austin-Peay, it was Jay Huff. Against VCU, it was Kyle Guy. Today, the Virginia Cavaliers got a huge boost from De’Andre Hunter. Virginia improved their record 4-0 on the season with a 73-53 victory over the Monmouth Hawks, despite a slow start to the game. Hunter with led all scorers with 23 points on 8-for-10 shooting, and Kyle Guy (13 points) and Mamadi Diakite (10 points) each reached double digit scoring.
Virginia looked sluggish to start the game, struggling to finish open looks and having trouble staying with their men on defense.
