CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. -- After netting 10 three-pointers in the first two games of his junior campaign, guard Ty Jerome became just the second player in Virginia history to do so in the first two games of a season.
Friday night, Jerome and the fourth-ranked Cavaliers will have one more tune up at John Paul Jones Arena before they head to the Bahamas for next week's Battle 4 Atlantis.
Coppin State (0-3) will be Virginia's opponent as the Eagles enter Friday's game struggling on offense, which doesn't bode well against the Cavaliers' stingy defense.
"We've got to learn how to compete for forty minutes," Coppin State head coach Juan Dixon said Wednesday night after his team's loss to Navy.
