Here are five takeaways from the bounce-back win over the Highlanders:
Virginia responded well after a disappointing loss
The ’Hoos took one on the chin on Friday in Norman, Oklahoma, falling to the Sooners by 44 points. But rather than hang their heads, Coach Mox’s Cavaliers responded well inside JPJ on Wednesday, hitting the gas pedal right from the opening tip.
Virginia began the game on a 10-3 run, sparked by a pair of buckets from each member of its starting backcourt — Kymora Johnson and Paris Clark, jumping out to a 15-point lead by the end of the opening quarter.
