It wasn’t pretty, but the No. 4 Virginia Cavaliers got a hard fought 57-49 win over the visiting VCU Rams. Neither team shot well, but the Hoos used a late rally to take the lead and hold onto it. With the win, Virginia improved to 9-0 on the season.
Virginia got to the free throw line and were successful there, making 26-of-30 at the line (87%). The Hoos shot just 30% from the field and 28% from three. Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy led Virginia with 15 points apiece, but combined to go 8-for-26 for the game.
