No. 9 Virginia had to battle for Tony Bennett’s 200th career win in Charlottesville, but got it done thanks to some hot shooting from second year Ty Jerome and the incomparable motor of Isaiah Wilkins.
It was the tale of two Jeromes as the Virginia Cavaliers (12-1, 1-0 ACC) faced off against the ACC-leading Boston College Eagles (10-4, 1-1 ACC) to kick off ACC play. Virginia’s Ty Jerome scored a career-high 31 points while Jerome Robinson finished with 29 for the Eagles. Jerome is the first Wahoo to hit the 30 point mark since Joe Harris dropped 36 on Duke in 2013.
