After 20 minutes in Charlottesville, the Virginia Cavaliers are ahead of the Syracuse Orange by 8, 37-29.
Anthony Gill led the way for the Hoos with a dozen points, but the biggest cheers of the first half came for London Perrantes and his nine points, all on three-pointers. Perrantes missed only two of his shots from deep, exploiting a weakness of Syracuse's traditional 2-3 zone defense.
Gill contributed three boards to lead U.Va. in that category as well. Isaiah Wilkins and Malcolm Brogdon each have three rebounds as well.
