After twenty minutes in Virginia's rematch with Virginia Tech, the Hoos hold a commanding 12-point lead, 32 to 20.
Anthony Gill found a bit of the mojo that eluded him against Pitt, scoring 7 to lead the Cavaliers. Malcolm Brogdon chipped in 5, while Evan Nolte scored a solid four—including a long two that brought the crowd at JPJ to top volume, thinking he had hit his second three in as many home games.
Chris Clarke led Tech with six points and Zach Leday scored five but sat for the closing minutes of the half with three personal fouls.
