In the first test of the season, the Virginia Cavaliers were able to pull out the important victory against the Florida Gators, 73-70.
Much will be written in the coming days about the performance the Hoos put up in the 2nd half that saw them put up a similar pattern they have over the past few years that saw them get out to a big lead only for the opponent to come back and tie it up or take the lead.
At the half, in a back and forth first portion of play, the Hoos were able to eek out a 4 point lead, 39-35.
