CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Ty Jerome is rounding into form at just the right time for Virginia.
Following a five-game stretch where he didn't get into double figures and shot better than 33 percent just once, the sophomore guard provided offense when his teammates weren't as the 13th-ranked Cavaliers defeated Hampton 82-48 on Friday night.
Jerome scored all 10 of his points in the first half with the Cavaliers (11-1) shooting poorly. His emergence is opportune as Virginia begins ACC play against Boston College on Dec. 30. He has started every game this season, but had his preseason workload managed as he dealt with a nagging foot injury.
