The Virginia Cavaliers completed a pair of games in the Cayman Islands Classic with a hard-fought 76-73 loss to the No. 7 LSU Tigers.
Here are five takeaways from the ‘Hoos encouraging performance in George Town.
Virginia can compete with the best
While the ‘Hoos couldn’t come away with the win, Saturday’s performance against the reigning champs was a clear sign that Coach Mox’s squad is ready to take on anyone in year two of her tenure.
Virginia gave LSU all they could handle in this one. The ‘Hoos never trailed by more than ten points, had the game knotted at 48 going into halftime, and were a missed Sam Brunelle three-pointer with five seconds remaining from possibly forcing overtime.
